Context

Due to the drawl and having read Faulkner before, I can assume that the place of the novel is somewhere in the South-east of the United States. Alongside of this, because of Faulkner's last book I believe that this novel takes place some time after the Civil War, but also some time during most likely early to mid reconstruction era. Since looking at the back of the book, it has confirmed that the book takes place in the Mississippi countryside, which it true to his form.
