Sin and Salvation groups ten of William Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County novels, published between 1929 and 1950. The collection includes his most celebrated works: The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Sanctuary (1931), Light in August (1932), and Absalom, Absalom! (1936).

Sartoris (1929) introduced Yoknapatawpha County and the families who populate it. Sanctuary and its sequel Requiem for a Nun (1950) are the most directly connected pair in the group. The other novels stand on their own while sharing the same Mississippi setting and Faulkner’s dense, layered prose style.
