4787Very Good. Autograph manuscript 8.5 x 11 inch blank leaf half page covered. While it is unclear to which if any of Faulkner's works this page might be linked it does seem rather early possibly from his New Orleans period. It reads in part: "I came to the center of the square and stopped and stood for a moment and let my eyes wander about -- wandering from the darkened store fronts to the center of the square where the marbled confederate soldier stood in strange whitened contrast to the shadowed of the deeply shaded court yard." A visually handsome page from Faulkner in his neat and tiny hand some lines crossed over in his determined manner. Manuscript pages from Faulkner such as this one have become quite uncommon on the market. <br/><br/> unknown books
4788Very Good. Autograph manuscript 8.5 x 11 inch blank leaf. The handwriting in this manuscript especially at times shows similarities to Faulkner's more calligraphic style as can be seen with The Marionettes and other early manuscripts. Primarily dialogue appears on this page with scattered corrections throughout. "You've flown over this route a hundred times" evokes Pylon but the exact use or lack of use of this page is unclear in spite of some effort. Hardly Faulkner at his best but still interesting and worthy of further study. A scarce if fragmented relic from Faulkner. <br/><br/> unknown books

Some pages uncut. Copy #22 of 400 total copies signed by Faulkner. Additionally this book has been inscribed by Faulkner on its title page: "William Faulkner. Los Angeles Cal. 23 April 1936."

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.
