Faulkner's Mayday

South Bend: University of Notre Dame Press, 1977. First Edition. Paperback. Fine/fine. Fine in the blue wraps, lightly faded on the spine edge. A 30 page essay mixing literary criticism and historicism focused on one of Faulkner's earliest novels, which is "a valuable aid to any attempt at revising some misconceptions of Faulkner's art; and it is unique among Faulkner's hand-lettered books for directly and significantly bearing on one of his most important works, The Sound and the Fury." Carvel Collins was a leading authority on Faulkner's works, having lectured on the subject at both Notre Dame and MIT.
