![]() In Sartoris, The Sound and the Fury, and As I Lay Dying, Faulkner had examined the relationship of the individual to his family. Light in August is the culmination of this creative period and is the novel in which Faulkner combines many of his previous themes with newer insights into human nature. The publication of this novel marked the end of Faulkner's greatest creative period - in four years he had published five substantial novels and numerous short stories.

Light in August is probably Faulkner's most complex and difficult novel. 132-53, 170-72, by permission of Louisiana State University Press.) ![]() 8 (Baton Rouge Louisiana State University Press, 1960), pp. (*Reprinted from Studies in American Literature, ed. ![]()
