- Title
Literary Cartography and Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha.
- Authors
Berte, Leigh Ann Litwiller
- Abstract
The article reports on the map of William Faulkner's imaginary county, Yoknapatawpha, was first published in 1936 as an attachment to the Random House edition of his ninth novel, Absalom, Absalom; at a glance it was obvious that the terrain of a fictional county bore a great resemblance to that of the author's home country; and the place where scenes in the seven of his past novels were located looked almost identical with Lafayette county, Mississippi, and the town of Jefferson.
