1959421079New York: Random House 1959. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Fine in a price-clipped near fine dustwrapper with some modest toning on the spine. A play from the Faulkner novel adapted by Ruth Ford. Inscribed by Ford to Tony Award-winning actress Marian Seldes: "Merry Christmas and love to Marian Seldes from Ruth Ford 1963." Ford the Mississippi-born sister of surrealist author Charles Henri Ford was a beautiful model and actress first for Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre and later in films and theater. Notably she starred on Broadway in Jean Paul Sartre's No Exit in 1946 under the direction of John Huston the last of five Broadway plays he directed. Her apartment in the Dakota became a salon for authors such as Tennessee Williams Edward Albee Terrence McNally and Truman Capote. A chance encounter between Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents in her Manhattan living room led to their collaboration with her Dakota-neighbor Leonard Bernstein on West Side Story. Similarly she brought together Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight to create the celebrated stories of Eloise the little girl who lived at the Plaza. Seldes daughter of important journalist Gilbert Seldes later married director and author Garson Kanin.<br /> <br /> Ford is well known also for her long friendship with William Faulkner which began with her dating his brother Dean in the early 1930s. Faulkner was openly smitten with Ford for many years. He wrote his experimental 1951 title Requiem for a Nun a sequel to his early and controversial novel Sanctuary with her in mind. He further declared to the consternation of his agent and publisher that it was her dramatic property Requiem for a Nun was a mixture of stage play and novel. Stage production of the title stalled for years partly because Faulkner's experimental drama did not lend itself to live theatre and partly because the producers were unsure of Ford's suitability. Faulkner was adamant that it was her dramatic property and in 1959 she adapted the play herself and starred in its London production opposite Scott. Her stage version received enthusiastic reviews in both London and New York but did not fare so well with audiences and closed after a short run on Broadway. Ford continued to act on both stage and screen well into the 1980s. She passed away in 2009 at the age of 98. Random House hardcover

1833713Winchester Va. 1833. Broadside 4to. 290 x 160 mm. 11 Â¼ x 6 Â¼ inches.Â Â Printed in two columns signed in type by Charles J. Faulkner at Winchester dated March 8 1833 at conclusion. Lightly dust-soiled pale stain affecting perhaps one-third of the left-hand margin and column of text. Neatly silked on verso. Withal about very good. 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.Â Â Not in Hummel.
