Summary

William Faulkner claimed that it may be necessary for a writer to “rob his mother”, should the need arise. This study of Faulkner's paradoxical attitude toward women, particularly mothers, will stimulate debate and concern, for his novels are shown here to have presented them as both a source and a threat to being and to language.
