there were more than a few battle visits, monuments and me tor morials as well. the war is both everywhere and nowhere in faulkner. he rarely writes about it explicit explicitly, he doesn't do battle scenes and yet its causes and consequences may provide an explanation for everything in his world. but more, it also shapes the deep structure of his imagination. it's always there. even when it doesn't seem to be. that's how it's going to be in this talk as well. there may be moments that follow when i almost don't seem to be talking about the civil war itself, as if i'm focusing on the private life of a few of faulkner's characters. but i am talking about it. always. many of you will know that he set most of the his work in a place he called a certain county in his home state. he often went from one work to another with outlines, too, as if what he had to say couldn't be confined to a single book. in particular, he wrote two novels about a character he called quentin thompson. oddly enough, each of them is set in massachusetts at harvard, where faulkner himself had

in addition to these warmer morial's, we now have one that is supposed to open next year. the national desert storm and desert shield memorial. this will be located over by the vietnam veterans memorial, making the west end of the mall a place where the proliferation of war memorials continues to take place just since the 19 eighties. we've been adding them at alarming speed. so while the east and is getting more museums, the west and has been getting it a memorial. so who owns america's past and how do we decide what should go there? i'm one of those who believed that the original vision of the l'enfant plan was a genius idea. to embody into the landscape the fundamental principles of the united states constitution. and the declaration of independence. it is that idea which has been defended by congress at various times, i government agencies, historic preservation entities, but it is essentially rooted in the 1791 idea and expanded by the mcmillon commission idea to include further history. where did the room -- warmer morals come from? well, this is where you look at th
