The Unvanquished is a novel by the American author William Faulkner, set in Yoknapatawpha County. It tells the story of the Sartoris family, who first appeared in the novel Sartoris (or Flags in the Dust). The Unvanquished takes place before that story, and is set during the American Civil War. Principal characters are Bayard Sartoris, John Sartoris (Marse John, Father), Granny, Ringo (Morengo), Ab Snopes, Cousin Drusilla, Aunt Jenny, Louvinia, and the lieutenant (a Yankee soldier).
The Unvanquished was first published as a whole in 1938, but consists of seven short stories, which were originally published separately in The Saturday Evening Post, except where noted:
- "Ambuscade" (September 29, 1934)
- "Retreat" (October 13, 1934)
- "Raid" (November 3, 1934)
- "The Unvanquished" (namesake for the novel, in which it is titled "Riposte in Tertio") (November 14, 1936)
- "Vendée" (December 5, 1936)
- "Drusilla" (titled "Skirmish at Sartoris" in the novel), published in Scribner's (April 1935)
- "An Odor of Verbena" (never published outside the novel prior to its release)
