- Title
CHRONOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN FAULKNER'S 'WILDERNESS' STORIES.
- Authors
Moore, Gene M.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the chronological inconsistencies in William Faulkner's "Wilderness" stories. The chronological relationship between stories as well as the order of events within individual stories is considered. Faulkner's utilization of historical facts to anchor the fictional stories of Native Americans is discussed. The genealogical relationships between characters such as Ikkemotubbe, Issetibbeha and Moketubbe are considered. The issues of chronology related to contact with European settlers, the development of steam-powered engines and the relocation of tribes are also discussed.
