First edition first printing dust-jacket with no price on dust jacket and $3.00 price on rear panel for "Humanity Uprooted" 401 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. A pioneering work of American modernism Faulkner's fourth novel which employed a stream-of-consciousness technique and multiple narrators; the flap copy says it "suggests Joyce in its technique and the Russians - perhaps Dostoyevsky - in its theme" but in retrospect the work is purest Faulkner with multiple narrators and cascading layers of history telling the story of the fall of a grand Southern family through the generations.

First state jacket with "Humanity Uprooted" correctly priced at $3.00.<br /> <br /> Faulkner's masterpiece - and one of the towering classics of American literature. The Sound and the Fury follows the travails of the Compsons a once prominent family in Jefferson Mississippi. Originally Faulkner began the work as a group of short stories about the Compsons but decided it would be better suited as a novel - and a very experimental one at that. A contemporary review in the Nashville Tennessean described it: "Not an easy book. It cannot be read objectively; the reader if he is to savor the best in this book must surrender himself entirely. The story has much beauty but it is a beauty that hath terror in it the beauty of pathos and tragedy. Never had I adequately known the meaning of pathos until I read the first part of this book." Faulkner's style was too complex for the novel to be an immediate hit but in time it assumed an important place in the canon and was cited as one of the reasons Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1949. The novel appears on Modern Library's 100 Best English Novels of the 20th century and Le Monde's list of the 100 Books of the Century. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket.

1929139490New York: Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith 1929. First edition first printing of Faulkner’s masterpiece. Octavo original half cloth over black and white patterned paper boards. Very good in a very good second state dust jacket with Humanity Uprooted priced at $3.50 instead of $3.00 on the rear panel. Housed in a custom clamshell box. Published in 1929 The Sound and the Fury was Faulkner's fourth novel and was not immediately successful. In 1931 however when Faulkner's sixth novel Sanctuary was published—a sensationalist story which Faulkner later said was written only for money—The Sound and the Fury also became commercially successful and Faulkner began to receive critical attention. The four parts of the novel relate many of the same episodes each from a different point of view and therefore with emphasis on different themes and events. This interweaving and nonlinear structure makes any true synopsis of the novel difficult especially since the narrators are all unreliable in their own way making their accounts not necessarily trustworthy at all times. When Faulkner began writing the story that would develop into The Sound and the Fury it "was tentatively titled ‘Twilight’ and narrated by a fourth Compson child" but as the story progressed into a larger work he renamed it drawing its title from Macbeth's famous soliloquy from act 5 scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Macbeth: "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot full of sound and fury Signifying nothing.

193149092London: Chatto and Windus 1931. Near fine in very good dust jacket. First UK edition of Faulkner's second book to be published in England - emblematic of his rapidly-growing influence. The best known work of the early 20th-century American master of stream-of-consciousness first conceived with the image of a girl in a pear tree. Through fits and starts Faulkner gradually composed it in four different parts each written in a different style to reflect the perspective of that narrator with the last and easiest to understand in 3rd person. This story of one family in Mississippi was an enormous risk: its success is a great American example of the beauty and power of art. 7.5'' x 4.75''. Publisher's yellow cloth boards with red spine lettering - second binding as noted in Petersen. Original price-clipped dust jacket. 320 pages with 4 pages of ads to rear. Jacket with mild toning and a touch of edgewear; remnants of removed price label to spine. Binding with a hint of bumping to corners and spine ends. Tight. Chatto and Windus unknown

Although The Sound and The Fury is now considered one of top one hundred novels of the 20th century it actually wasn’t initially received well upon publication. This was mostly due to the fact that at the time Faulkner wasn’t well-known as a novelist although this was his fourth published work. Because he had not had much commercial success with his first few novels it is believed that the publisher limited the initial printing run to 1789 copies. It wasn’t until his novel Sanctuary was published in 1931 that he started being really noticed as a writer and more people started giving The Sound and The Fury more serious attention. The title of the book comes from the famous soliloquy of act 5 scene 5 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Faulkner literally takes Shakespeare’s words and writes a "tale told by an idiot"… in this case from the point of view of the members of the Compson family who are former Mississippi aristocrats who fall into financial trouble and over a 30 year period many of whom die tragically in one way or another…. Or as Shakespeare put it… “the way to dusty deathâ€. Faulkner used a stream of consciousness method conceived by other novelists such as James Joyce and Virginia Wolf. Although this narrative style and lack of regard for sentence structure can often alienate new readers it is considered a masterpiece by literary critics and scholars and played a large role in Faulkner’s receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.
