David W. Blight. Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory. Harvard University Press, 2001. ISBN 978-0-674-00332-3. с. 292, 448 – 49. [quoting Robert Penn Warren on Faulkner, Blight writes:] If respect for the human is the central fact of Faulkner's work, what makes that fact significant is that he realizes and dramatizes the difficulty of respecting the human. Everything is against it, the savage egotism, the blank appetite, stupidity and arrogance, even virtues sometimes, the misreading of our history and tradition, our education, our twisted loyalties. That is the great drama, however, the constant story.
