Unlock the more straightforward side of Sanctuary with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of Sanctuary by William Faulkner, which centres around the lawyer Horace Benbow as he defends a moonshiner who has been falsely charged with murder. The real murderer is the sadistic Popeye, one of Faulkner’s most chilling creations, who has not only committed the murder, but also brutally raped and abducted Temple Drake, the teenaged daughter of a judge. In the Deep South of the novel, violence and lust saturate everyday life, and justice is nowhere to be found. William Faulkner is widely recognised as one of the most significant American authors of the 20th century, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.
