    El condado de Yoknapatawpha muestra el desarrollo de Estados Unidos desde un sistema tradicional de estructura patriarcal relacionado con el entorno natural y rural, a una sociedad contemporánea desarrollada en el ámbito socio-económico cercana al capitalismo. El contexto histórico y el marco socio-económico son elementos compositivos básicos en la literatura faulkneriana. Los efectos y consecuencias de la Guerra de Secesión y la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial resultan fundamentales para establecer un paralelismo entre la evolución de la comunidad sureña y la nación americana. William Faulkner crea un microcosmos representativo de la historia americana.

    Yoknapatawpha is a fictional county created by William Faulkner that represents the evolution of the United States. It shows the development of the nation, from a traditional system defined by a patriarchal structure and that is deeply related to the rural environment, to a modern society whose socioeconomic system is close to the capitalism. The faulknerian literature will use the most relevant events of the American history to recreate a community whose economic system has been strongly influencedby the Civil War, the World War I and the World War II. These struggles are faulknerian literary elements that prove that his fictional southern community evolves in parallel to the American nation.
