Abstract

Since the Chinese literature of the new era,the American writer William Faulkner has aroused the general attention of writers in the Chinese literary circle and has given rise to "Faulkner fever." According with the acceptance of Faulkner's works by Chinese writers in the new period,his novels The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying have the highest readerships and have achieved the greatest acceptance,followed by the short story A Rose for Emily. In particular,The Sound and the Fury had a profound influence on the literature of the new period. Faulkner's world of Yoknapatawpha played a catalytic role in the emergence of "root-seeking novels" and "avant-garde novels" in the new period of China. On the one hand,it inspired the modern national consciousness and root-seeking complex of writers in the new period,and had a profound impact on the expression of local experience,the excavation and reflection of regional culture,and the revelation of cultural roots. It allows Chinese contemporary writers to realize that only when the literature is deeply rooted in the soil of national cultural tradition can it be accepted by the world widely. On the other hand,modern artistic expression techniques such as stream-of-consciousness and multi-angle narration in Faulkner's novels exerted profound influence on the stylistic transformation of Chinese novels in the new period. Based on the vision and experience of Chinese culture and context,the subjectivity choices of Chinese writers in the new era resulted in variation and reform in the process of learning from and accepting Faulkner's works,and they created masterpieces with a combination of "Chinese style" and "world element." Faulkner's influence on Chinese writers is not a flash in the pan,but permeates every phase of the new period literature,and the relationship of influence and acceptance between Faulkner and the Chinese writers in the new era is worthy of in-depth exploration.
