Faulkner, William. THE SOUND AND THE FURY. Chatto and Windus, London, 1931.
Price: US$2500.00 + shipping
Description: 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. Near fine in very good dust jacket.
