About This Book
First published in 1931, this classic psychological melodrama has been
viewed as more of a social document in his tragic legend of the South
than mere story. From Popeye, a moonshining racketeer with no conscience
and Temple Drake, beautiful, bored and vulnerable, to Harace Benbow, a
lawyer of honor and decency wishing for more in his life, and Gowan
Stevens, college student with a weakness for drink, Faulkner writes of
changing social values and order. A sinister cast peppered with social
outcasts and perverts perform abduction, murder, and mayhem in this
harsh and brutal story of sensational and motiveless evil.
Students of Faulkner have found an allegorical interpretation of
"Sanctuary" as a comment on the degradation of old South's social order
by progressive modernism and materialistic exploitation. Popeye and his
co-horts represent this hurling change that is corrupting the historic
traditions of the South, symbolized by Horace Stevens, which are no
longer able to protect the victimized Negro and poor white trash due to
middle-class apathy and inbred violence.
