| description | In "Delta Autumn," William Faulkner represents the transformations of the big woods of the Mississippi Delta in the course of half a century, through the vantage point of Ike McCaslin, an old hunter that is now a mere witness passively contemplating the disappearance of the wilderness he used to know and enjoy under the increasing pressure of the modern world. This paper focuses on the complexities and ambivalence of the way those transformations are represented: while privileging an elegiac tone that laments the loss of the wilderness, the narrative perspective of "Delta Autumn" also makes the complexities of the conflict between the preservation of nature and progress emerge. |
