William Faulkner. Sartoris [Inscribed by Ben Wasson]. Harcourt Brace, 1929.

Price: US$450.00 + shipping

Condition: Good

Description: 1st Edition. First edition, with date lacking on title page as called for. Inscribed in 1975 by Ben Wasson to the editor of The Faulkner Newsletter and a noted Faulkner collector. First written in 1926-27, Sartoris (initially called "Flags in the Dust") met a discouraging response from New York publishers. Faulkner thus engaged his Oxford friend Ben Wasson, then in New York, to act as the book's agent. Wasson found a publisher willing to take the novel, provided someone besides Faulkner extensively edit it. Wasson undertook the job himself, cutting nearly a quarter of the text. Harcourt, Brace duly published it in 1929. This copy's inscription reads, " To Bill B. from Ben W. Long may your collection wave. B. [Oxford?] 1975." Light silverfishing and light cup ring to binding; discoloration to gutter at title page. Otherwise a sound copy with an exceptionally fresh interior.

Faulkner, William. Sartoris.. Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York, 1929.

Price: US$3800.00 + shipping

Description: First edition of Faulkner’s work 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. Housed in a custom half morocco chemise and clamshell box. 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.

FAULKNER, William.. Sartoris.. New York: Harcourt Brace, 1929, 1929.

Price: US$3898.64 + shipping

Description: 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). Massey 289; Peterson A5.1; Philip Weinstein, Simply Faulkner, 2016. 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.

Description: FAULKNER, William. Sartoris. New York: Harcourt, Brace, (1929). Octavo, original black cloth, original dust jacket. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $15,000.First edition of Faulkner's rare third novel, one of only 1998 copies printed.The first of Faulkner's works to be set in his fictional Yoknapatawpha County, this novel "concerns the Sartoris family, which revels in a mythical history of clan heroism and nobility that is belied by their current desperation and recklessness" (Encyclopedia of Literature, 994). In addition to introducing characters who would figure prominently in later novels, such as the Snopes family, Faulkner also takes up a number of themes in Sartoris that he would develop at length in later works: racism, innate brutality, deep-seated sexual obsessions and the disparity between a romanticized Southern past and a paltry present.
