Download or read book The Secret History of Faulkner's As I Lay Dying written by Stephanie Kenrose and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faulkner's use of Christian Mythology and Southern folklore in As I Lay Dying is well documented. However, Addie Bundren's journey to her burial plot parallels the travels of the dead in the Aztec myths of the gloomy underworld of Mictlan too closely to be explained by coincidence. This book explains some of the major similarities between the myths and AILD, and will suggest places where Faulkner may have obtained his source material.
