Did william faulkner attend school?

Question

When he was a child did he attend any kind of formal education?

Answer 1

he was, basically, an autodidact - that is, someone who educated himself.

He had basic education, but learned the craft on his own.

"The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him" - Faulkner.

Answer 2

Since he did attend Oxford high school, I assume he had a formal education of elementary school. Later, as a young adult, he entered the British the Royal Air Force

Answer 3

Of course he did. He did not enjoy it, however. He dropped out of high school in the 11th grade. Then he studied literature independently for a couple years, being tutored by a friend who had graduated from college. Eventually, he took some courses at the University of Mississippi, as a non-degree student. He didn't care much for that either, and dropped out without attending very many classes.

Answer 4

yes.
