	Faulkner's County: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha, by Don H. Doyle. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Yoknapatawpha was a place of the imagination, invented by Faulkner as a vehicle for developing a coherent body of fiction, but the raw materials from which he created this place and its people lay right at his front porch.
		To anyone familiar with Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha, these and dozens of other accounts in Lafayette County's past testify to the parallel and sometimes intertwining worlds of the actual and the apocryphal.

	"Exercises in Doom..."
		The first Yoknapatawpha wedding is that of Caddy Compson, Faulkner's "heart's darling." The event is dominated by the tragedy inherent in the conflict between appearance and reality that is a major theme in The Sound and the Fury.
		Paradoxically, the only Yoknapatawpha wedding that takes place inside a church, it is the most terrifying, and, as Miss Rosa probably would have characterized it, the most demonic, of the weddings Faulkner presents.
		But in her case, neither that fact, nor the fact that she once briefly might have imagined herself to be in love with Sutpen, does not mean that her wedding is not also symbolic of sterility.

		These thirteen original essays from the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, held in 1994 at the University of Mississippi, examine William Faulkner's texts in terms of their surprising range of gender portrayals.

	H-Net Review: Louis W. Mazzari on Faulkner's County: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha
		Characteristic of his taste for contradiction, William Faulkner called the setting for his novels and stories both "actual" and "apocryphal." Yoknapatawpha County is the place where he resolved his simultaneous impulses to invent and to document.
		Setting the imaginary Yoknapatawpha within the real Lafayette County, Mississippi, Don H. Doyle demonstrates how remarkable was Faulkner's synthesis, how well Faulkner's fictional setting meshed with the history of his source, and why his neighbors marveled about Faulkner's recall of local history.
		Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha may be the most extraordinary place in American fiction, but it is Lafayette County's unexceptional story that provides Doyle with the rationale of his book.

	A Certain Slant of Light:
		Through the handwritten entries that Faulkner made, the landscape of Yoknapatawpha is presented primarily as a setting for grief, villainy, and death.
		Even the courthouse, which sits at the center, as Faulkner says in another place, "laying its vast shadow to the uttermost rim of horizon" (RFN 35), and which ideally should be identified with order and stability and justice, is instead associated with Temple Drake's perjury and the pathetic fate of Benjy Compson.
		Faulkner's map of Yoknapatawpha is the artistic equivalent of the historical Sutpen's Hundred.
