This article analyzes the poetics of artistic space and time in the Southern Renaissance period of American literature. The study examines the works of William Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, Katherine Anne Porter, and Robert Penn Warren as primary sources. The article demonstrates that Southern Renaissance writers use space and time not merely as the background of a literary work, but as medium conveying moral, psychological, and historical meanings. Using the concept of the chronotope, the analysis reveals the role of space and time in reflecting character consciousness, memory, and historical cycles.
