Question: 1 / 400

What is the title of the novel by William Faulkner about the regionalism of the American South?

“The Sound and the Fury”

Faulkner's novel, "The Sound and the Fury," is a prime example of regionalism in the American South. However, the other three options are not about the regionalism of the American South as their main focus. "Light in August" deals more with race relations and societal norms in the South, while "Absalom, Absalom!" is primarily about the decline of the South and its traditions. "As I Lay Dying" explores themes of family, death, and grief, but does not specifically address regionalism. Therefore, "The Sound and the Fury" is the only option that directly aligns with the given question.
