  • “Evangeline” by William Faulkner
    13 pages plus introduction: Precisely when Faulkner wrote “Evangeline” is not known. Certainly he completed it by mid-1931, if not months or years earlier. Desperate to earn the sort of substantial income he was not receiving from the sale of his novels, on July 17, 1931 Faulkner submitted it to the Saturday Evening Post… The Post immediately rejected it, and Faulkner sent it out again on July 26 to the Women’s Home Companion, which also turned it down. Either discouraged or aware that “Evangeline” contained material more appropriate for a full-lenth novel, Faulkner put it aside for two and a half years. When he picked it up again in early 1934, he evidently saw the rich possibilities in this neo-Gothic detective story, for he made it the narrative core of the novel he then called “A Dark House,” after the rotting Sutpen mansion, adding material from stories called “Wash” and “The Big Shot” and changing the names and personalities of some of the characters. This work evolved into “Absalom, Absalom!”, published in 1936. Thus Faulkner, by a complex process of revision and expansion, gradually transformed “Evangeline” into a central portion of his greatest novel.
