1929164877New York: Harcourt Brace 1929. In a bright example of the fragile jacket First edition first printing of Faulkner's first Yoknapatawpha novel rare in the jacket. Sartoris was the only part of Flags in the Dust to be published during Faulkner's lifetime. He told his publisher: "At last and certainly I have written THE book of which those other things were but foals. I believe it is the damdest sic best book you'll look at this year and any other publisher" quoted by Weinstein p. 25. He had completed the novel in 1927 but his publisher edited the text down substantially: the full text was not published until 1973 over a decade after Faulkner's death. It was Faulkner's debut as a Southern writer drawing on a roster of types "ranging from garrulous old white men to deranged white youths and low-lives as well as to a hill-country family nestled in the backwoods and steeped in earlier ways. And this is not to mention its three generations of black servants managing to eke out their lives under inattentive white masters" ibid p. 24. Octavo. Original black cloth spine and front cover lettered in red top edge red others untrimmed. With the dust jacket designed by Arthur Hawkins. Spine ends and outer corners of front cover lightly bumped fresh and bright; spine panel sunned with shallow loss at ends tape repair on verso of rear flap a few tiny chips and nicks unclipped: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.

192995802New York: Harcourt Brace and Company 1929. First edition of Faulkner's works set in Yoknapatawpha County and introduces many of the characters that appear in his later fiction. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light toning to the spine. A very nice example. Sartoris portrays the decay of the Mississippi aristocracy following the social upheaval of the American Civil War. The 1929 edition is an abridged version of Faulkner's original work. The full text was published in 1973 as Flags in the Dust. Faulkner's great-grandfather William Clark Falkner himself a colonel in the American Civil War served as the model for Colonel John Sartoris. Faulkner also fashioned other characters in the book on local people from his hometown Oxford. Literary critic Cleanth Brooks described the novel as "extremely well-written" full of literary allusions and exploring the plight of a lost generation. He compared Sartoris to the poem The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot. Harcourt, Brace and Company hardcover books

195952461New York: Modern Library 1959. Modern Library Giant first edition thus. INSCRIBED on the front endpaper "To The Maracay Book Club / with gratitude and best wishes / William Faulkner / Caracas / 20 April 1961" and signed on the title page "William Faulkner / Maracay / 10 April 1961." During a State Department-sponsored trip to Venezuela in April 1961 Faulkner visited a book club in Maracay founded in his honor by fellow Mississippian Vivian Ray. According to Ray's son from whom the book was purchased Mr. Faulkner stayed with William and Victoria Fielden in Caracas who were responsible for arranging this "out of protocol" event. Old tape shadows to pastedowns and rear endpaper where card was removed; the book club's lending-library stamps on the dust jacket flaps have offset to the free endpapers affecting Faulkner's inscription which is nonetheless as legible as one could hope from Faulkner; otherwise would be about very good. In an edge worn but still good dust jacket with label on spine presumably from the lending library. INSCRIBED BY FAULKNER Modern Library unknown books
