First Edition. 8vo publisher's original gray cloth over red boards lettered in red on the spine decorated endleaves. 380 pp. A handsome sound and pleasing copy well preserved. FIRST EDITION OF WILLIAM FAULKNER'S CONTROVERSIAL NOVEL ABOUT RAPE. 'Faulkner wrote this novel about the rape and abduction of an upper-class Mississippi college girl Temple Drake during the Prohibition era. The novel was Faulkner's commercial and critical breakthrough and established his literary reputation but was controversial given its themes. It is said Faulkner claimed it was a "potboiler" written purely for profit but this has been debated by scholars and Faulkner's own friends.<br> The novel provided the basis for the films The Story of Temple Drake 1933 and Sanctuary 1961. It also inspired the novel No Orchids for Miss Blandish as well as the film of the same title and The Grissom Gang which derived from No Orchids for Miss Blandish. The story of the novel can also be found in the 2007 film Cargo 200.<br> Faulkner later wrote Requiem for a Nun 1951 as a sequel to Sanctuary.' wiki Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith hardcover

Following the August 1831 Nat Turner rebellion in Southampton County a last effort was made by moderate Virginians to gradually abolish slavery. Faulkner a 26-year-old lawyer and assemblyman along with Thomas Jefferson Randolph sponsored legislation to free all children born of slave parents after July 4 1840. His speech emphasized the evil of slavery for Southern white labor noting that slavery "converts the energy of the community into indolence--its power into imbecility--its efficiency into weakness.Shall society suffer that the slave-holder may continue to gather his crop of human flesh" As the Assembly was malapportioned in favor of the Tidewater slaveocracy the proposal lost rather narrowly and nearly thirty years later the Confederacy was assured of Virginia's succession. It is perhaps not surprising that Faulkner "comparatively a stranger" to the county but a member of the Virginia House of Delegates at this time 1831-34 was not successful in his campaign to represent Virginia in the U.S. Senate. However Faulkner was elected to three terms in Congress from Virginia in the 1850s. He was elected to Congress from West Virginia after the Civil War. In the interim he served as Minister to France during the Buchanan administration and on the staff of Stonewall Jackson. Dictionary of American Biography. Not in Hummel.
