“Because she – the child – didn’t look at all like her mother": Linda Snopes Kohl as Anti-Belle

The first part of the essay discusses the production of female stereotypes, in particular the belle stereotype, in the U.S. South. The second part of the essay focuses on the character of Linda Snopes Kohl in William Faulkner’s Snopes trilogy. For most of the trilogy, Linda is depicted as an anti-belle and a female subversive force. Her otherness is brought into being by her linguistic, cultural, class, and race placelessness in the Southern patriarchal matrix.
