Condition: Near Fine
Description: No DJ. 319 pages. Liveright. Less than 2,500 copies were printed by Liveright in the first printing in 1926. While this copy states 1926 on the copyright page, in 1930 Boni Liveright became Horace Liveright. This copy is published by Liveright (Horace), hence a publishing date no earlier than 1930. Book looks nearly identical to the first printing, both inside and out. Book is square. Corners are sharp. Yellow titling is bright and whole. Blue panels with yellow titles and a quill or wheat design on both the front panel and backstrip. Pages are clean and tight. Only flaws keeping the book from grading fine are: Pastedown/endpaper are clean except for light toning. Blue cloth shows a couple of very faint fingerprint marks. Rear cloth shows lightest scratching to cloth. Previous owner's name/date/location (neatly) on FFEP. Pages are bright and tight. A very nice early copy of Faukner's first title.

Without the scarce dust jacket. Petersen A2.1. Man Working 304. In 1925, Faulkner moved to New Orleans where he joined a literary circle centered on Sherwood Anderson and was introduced to the modernist innovations of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. His interest in experimental writing was piqued, and he began a novel, his first, Soldiers' Pay, portraying the tragic homecoming of a wounded war hero. Though set in Georgia, it was, nonetheless, a kind of rehearsal for the later Mississippi novels, full of despair and "mythic motifs of impotence and futile love." (Literary Encyclopedia) Andersen recommended the book for publication, without having ever read it. Note: With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, carefully preserved in archival, removable polypropylene sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed. In 1921, Faulkner worked briefly in a New York bookstore, where he met Elizabeth Prall, who later married Sherwood Anderson. That led to an apprenticeship with Anderson when Faulkner moved to New Orleans in 1925. "In a starry literary circle [Faulkner] was inspired to experiment with prose pieces, many of which he published in the New Orleans Picayune and the fledgling literary journal, The Double Dealer. Friends acquainted him with Freud, the mythic world of the anthropologist Sir James Frazer's Golden Bough, and most importantly, the modernist innovations of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. Faulkner's absorbed interest in experimental writing proceeded apace; building on his brief published pieces in local venues, he began a novel, Soldiers' Pay, which portrayed the tragic homecoming of a fatally wounded war hero. Set in Georgia, it was, nonetheless a kind of rehearsal for the later Mississippi novels. Full of despair and "fisher-king" mythic motifs of impotence and futile love, the novel focussed on the returning veteran, Mahon, who is accompanied by a fellow soldier and a young widow, both met on the homeward bound train. Mahon's heartless flapper fiancé, another woman he has deserted, a jaded, randy intellectual and Mahon's minister father complete a cast that plays out a tragic story of a sterile postwar world in which old loyalties and values seem to mean little. Anderson, who had promised Faulkner he would get the book in print if he didn't have to read it, came through, and the novel was published in 1926." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.

Condition: Very Good
Description: First edition of Faulkner's first published novel, a post-WWI story of a wounded aviator's return to his Georgia home. A commercial failure but a distinct critical success, SOLDIERS' PAY was praised by contemporary critics for its examination of the marks left by war on men, and by those men on the women they came home to. Donald Davidson admired it for an interesting "and even an exciting book" in spite of its perplexing modernism; Louis Kronenberger wondered at the "primitive" and "abnormal" characters who make their way in a world "at once pitiful and comic, passionate, tormenting and strange." An unusually attractive copy. 7.5'' x 5''. Original dark blue cloth with yellow lettering. Blue and white decorative endpapers. Lacking dust jacket. 319, [1] pages. Light edgewear and rubbing to boards.

It begins with a train journey on which two American soldiers, Joe Gilligan and Julian Lowe, are returning from the First World War. There they meet a scarred, lethargic, and withdrawn fighter pilot, Donald Mahon, who was presumed dead by his family. The novel continues to focus on Mahon and his slow deterioration, and the various romantic complications that arise upon his return home.Though the novel was a commercial failure at the time of its publication, Faulkner's subsequent fame has ensured its long-term success" (Standard Books). Over time, the themes of psychological damage and ideological disillusionment that were so uncomfortable to readers just emerging from the war came to be praised for their rawness and honesty.
