Biography:
The Stevenses are one of the oldest and most prominent families in Jefferson, and the office in which "Judge Stevens" appears in this novel is an important setting in other Faulkner fictions (14). The patriarchal way in which he and Maury Priest settle the business of Boon's gunfire without recourse to the legal system or concern for the rights of the black girl Boon shoots is a good example of how the good old boy network functions.
