  This resource is intended mainly for teachers and students: our goal is to take as much advantage as we can of the capacities of electronic technology to help first-time readers orient themselves inside the stories William Faulkner is telling in Absalom, Absalom! while preserving some aspect of the experience of reading it. At the same time, we hope it may give aficionados and scholars new ways to conceptualize and appreciate the intricate brilliance of the novel's design.
  Like the book itself, this site is an experiment. Please feel free to share your reactions with us at sfr@virginia.edu, so that we can make corrections and improvements to it . If you don't have a recent version of the FLASH player on your computer, you can download a free copy HERE.
