- Title
FAULKNER'S INDIANS AND THE ROMANTIC VISION.
- Authors
Sayre, Robert Woods
- Abstract
The article focuses on the romantic qualities of the Yoknapatawpha Indians in the works of author William Faulkner. The author provides a working definition of romanticism. Romantic depictions of Indians in James Adair's "History of the American Indians," and in "Travels," by William Bartram, are discussed. The association between nature and Native Americans in Faulkner's stories is considered. Thematic overviews of Faulkner's stories regarding Indians are provided. The symbolic relationship between the Native American struggle with the settlers and their adoption of the culture of the settlers is discussed.
