Taking place in Mississippi during the Jim Crow era, the narrative confronts issues of race, religion, and sexuality that are still relevant to today's readers. The "Backgrounds and Contexts" section presents biographical information on the author, whereas "Reception and Influence" highlights past and present views of Faulkner and his work. "Historical and Cultural Contexts" illustrates the zeitgeist of the early twentieth century, followed by modern critical essays that explore the various facets of the novel.
