[ noun ] a sequence of powerful leaders in the same family
Used in print (Arlin Turner, "William Faulkner, Southern Novelist"...)Without saying or seeming to say that in portraying the Sartoris and the Compson families Faulkner 's chief concern is social criticism , we can say nevertheless that through those families he dramatizes his comment on the planter dynasties as they have existed since the decades before the Civil_War .
