Rowan Oak is William Faulkner's former home in Oxford, Mississippi. It is a primitive Greek Revival house built in the 1840s by Colonel Robert Sheegog, an Irish immigrant planter from Tennessee.

One of its more famous features is the outline of Faulkner's Pulitzer Prize–winning novel A Fable, penciled in graphite and red on the plaster walls of his office.

  • 山楸橡树(Rowan Oak)是美国作家威廉·福克纳的故居,现已被列入美国国家历史名胜。“山楸橡树”是苏格兰传说中象征和平与安全的树。这座别墅最初由Robert Sheegog于1840年代建造,建好后约有2500平方英尺,门厅占450平方英尺。1900年左右Julia Bailey增设了储藏室和厨房。1930年6月福克纳夫妇正式入驻此地,福克纳对房屋结构做了几处大的修改,比如在二楼添了第四个寝室。1950年代,由于诺贝尔文学奖的奖金和日益增多的稿酬,福克纳对这所别墅做了最后一次大的装修整改。1954年,他将这座房子的所有权转到了唯一的女儿吉尔名下,福克纳死后她觉定将图书馆和办公室的部分对福克纳学者们开放。福克纳妻子死后,吉尔将山楸橡树卖给了密西西比大学。1977年收入國家史蹟名錄。1980年代经历了一次大的翻修。 (zh)
