Biography:

Although he plays a much larger role in other works, especially Go Down, Moses, which was published just two years after The Hamlet, Ike McCaslin and his plantation are used solely as a reference point in this novel: before he appears in Frenchman's Bend, Ab Snopes and his family spent the winter in Ike's "old cottonhouse" (10).
