About this Item
Signed limited first edition of Faulkner's novel in seven episodes, six of which were originally published as separate short stories in THE SATURDAY EVENING POST and SCRIBNER'S. THE UNVANQUISHED was the first of Faulkner's books published in the US to be illustrated (by Edward Shenton, house illustrator for SCRIBNER'S, who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts under two students of Howard Pyle). Set in Mississippi during and after the US Civil War, the novel follows members of the Sartoris family, whose later doings were chronicled in the earlier SARTORIS; and Ab Snopes, of the Yoknatawpha Snopeses, "one of the most pernicious families in all of Faulkner" (Padgett). A handsome copy. 7.75'' x 5.5''. Original quarter red cloth with decorative paper-covered boards and gilt-lettered spine. Top edge gilt. Lacking publisher's acetate dust jacket (as common). 293, [1] pages. Edition of 250 copies printed on Archer rag paper; this copy no. 74. Signed by Faulkner on limitation page. Spine lightly toned. Offsetting to endpapers. Seller Inventory # 50931
