Literary Legacy

First published in 1929, The Sound and the Fury marked a breakthrough in William Faulkner’s development as an experimental novelist. Its shifting perspectives and stream-of-consciousness technique helped establish the distinctive literary voice for which he became renowned. The Nobel Prize describes Faulkner as one of America’s most significant writers and specifically identifies The Sound and the Fury as the breakthrough novel in which he began using stream of consciousness to portray the inner flow of his characters’ thoughts. Faulkner received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949 for his contribution to the modern American novel.

Modern Library later selected the novel among its 100 best novels, another indication of the work’s lasting place in twentieth-century literature.
