"Barn Burning" is a short story by the American author William Faulkner which first appeared in Harper's in June 1939 (pp. 86–96) and has since been widely anthologized. The story deals with class conflicts, the influence of fathers, and vengeance as viewed through the third-person perspective of a young, impressionable child.[1][2] It precedes The Hamlet, The Town, and The Mansion, the three novels that make up Faulkner's Snopes trilogy.[3]
