520    "This book is about the making of the writer William 
       Faulkner. It is the first to inquire into the three most 
       important women in his life -- his black and white mothers,
       Caroline Barr and Maud Falkner, and the childhood friend 
       who became his wife, Estelle Oldham. In this new 
       exploration of Faulkner's creative process, Judith L. 
       Sensibar discovers that these women's relationships with 
       Faulkner were not simply close; they gave life to his 
       imagination. Sensibar brings to the foreground -- as 
       Faulkner did -- this 'female world,' an approach 
       unprecedented in Faulkner biography. Through extensive 
       research in untapped biographical sources -- archival 
       materials and interviews with these women's families and 
       other members of the communities in which they lived -- 
       Sensibar transcends existing scholarship and reconnects 
       Faulkner's biography to his work. She demonstrates how the
       themes of race, tormented love, and addiction that 
       permeated his fiction had their origins in his three 
       defining relationships with women. Sensibar alters and 
       enriches our understanding not only of Faulkner, his art, 
       and the complex world of the American South that came to 
       life in his brilliant fiction but also of darknesses, 
       fears, and unspokens that Faulkner unveiled in the 
       American psyche." -- Book jacket.
