英语词汇yoknapatawpha county的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Yoknapatawpha County. Certainly the most famous sus- tained fictional setting in American literature, this county was created by William Faulkner and based on Lafayette County in Mississippi. It appears in 14 Faulkner novels and many stories, beginning with Sartoris in 1929. The fictional county, accord- ing to Don Doyle’s excellent Faulkner’s Country: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha County (2002), takes its name from the Chickasaw Indian word meaning “divided or split apart land.” The name Yoknapatawpha, in abbreviated form, also sur- vives as the name of a real local river. Faulkner actually drew a map of the county for one of his books on which he indicated that it covered 2,400 square miles, had 6,298 whites and 9,313 blacks, and had as its capital Jefferson (based on Oxford, Miss.). Ernest Hemingway caustically called Faulkner the creator of onomatopoeia county.
