New York: Random House 1938. First Edition. Near Fine. Octavo original half burgundy cloth and patterned paper boards top edge gilt. Number 164 of two hundred fifty signed copies. Complete with author's signature on the limitation page. A Near Fine copy of the book with the spine a bit faded and a previous owner's stamp on the half-title otherwise a very pleasing copy. Lacking the publisher's acetate jacket but with a new mylar.<br /> <br /> Personal responsibility and the fall of Old Southern gentility take center stage in Faulkner's The Unvanquished. Set in Mississippi and spanning the Civil War and Reconstruction the story follows the Sartoris family and their attempt to maintain a sense of identity as the nation changes. "Having chosen warfare as the exciting backdrop for The Unvanquished Faulkner writes of it well. By the time of the fall of Vicksburg when the novel begins the Confederate defeats at Shiloh and Corinth had opened northern Mississippi to the Federal armies.the border region of north Mississippi was overrun by both the Union and Confederate armies but controlled by neither" Brown. In this chaos the protagonist Bayard Sartoris grows from naïve boy to a young man with a greater understanding of the violent tensions that class and race can cause both for individuals and their communities.

The Unvanquished
New York: Random House 1938. First Edition. Review copy with the publisher’s printed and dated notice and photograph of the author laid in. The notice gives publisher price and date of publication February 15 1938 as well as a description of the book. “.Straight reading from Faulkner - in one of the finest books he has yet written. It covers the later days of the Civil War when the Yankees destroyed the plantation but not the spirit of the indomitable Sartoris family in Mississippi. Many of the chapters appeared originally in magazines but Faulkner has largely rewritten them and this record of the valiant Sartorises is now a continuous narrative packed with war romance humor and above all courage. Illustrations by Edward Shenton.†The photograph of Faulkner is one of the classic 1930s images of the man and in the white margin beneath reads: “WILLIAM FAULKNER - One of America’s top ranking authors whose new book THE UNVANQUISHED deals with the Civil War Random House.†The book is a fine tight copy in a lightly used dust jacket with a two inch tear a faint bit of dust soiling at spine and a couple of tiny nicks.

Faulkner, William
The Wild Palms.
London: Chatto & Windus 1939. First British edition of the Nobel Prize-winning author's grandly inventive heart-stopping classic novel. Octavo original cloth. Signed by the author on the title page "William Faulkner New York 3 March 1953." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed with no other inscribed British edition ever appearing at auction. In this feverishly beautiful novel William Faulkner interweaves two narratives each wholly absorbing in its own right each subtly illuminating the other. In New Orleans in 1937 a man and a woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion fleeing her husband and the temptations of respectability. In Mississippi ten years earlier a convict sets forth across a flooded river risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation survival and self-sacrifice a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed with fatal injuries of the spirit. The Wild Palms is grandly inventive heart-stopping in its prose and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own. Chatto & Windus hardcover

In Mississippi ten years earlier a convict sets forth across a flooded river risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation survival and self-sacrifice a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed with fatal injuries of the spirit. The Wild Palms is grandly inventive heart-stopping in its prose and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own. Random House hardcover
