Biography:
Ike McCaslin shares his house in Jefferson with a woman who is called "his wife's sister" and his "sister-in-law" at the beginning of the novel (6), and his "dead wife’s widowed niece" near the end (335). In the earlier published version of "Delta Autumn" she was his wife's niece; Faulkner either forgot that when he wrote "sister" in the novel's first mention or forgot to change "niece" to "sister" in the second mention, in the revised version of "Delta Autumn" that appears in the novel in the second mention. In either case, she maintains the house for him and for "her children," who also live there (6, 335).
