HTML:<b>A collection of essential pieces by an American master • “A real contribution to the study of Faulkner’s work.”—Edmund Wilson</b><br />  <br /> In prose of biblical grandeur and feverish intensity, William Faulkner reconstructed the history of the American South as a tragic legend of courage and cruelty, gallantry and greed, futile nobility and obscene crimes. He set this legend in a small, minutely realized parallel universe that he called Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi.<br /> No single volume better conveys the scope of Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha legend than <i>The Essential Faulkner.</i> The book includes self-contained episodes from the novels <i>The Sound and the Fury, Light in August,</i> and <i>Sanctuary</i>; the stories “The Bear,” “Spotted Horses,” “A Rose for Emily,” and “Old Man,” among others; a map of Yoknapatawpha County and a chronology of the Compson family created by Faulkner especially for this edition; and the complete text of Faulkner’s 1950 address upon receiving the Nobel Prize in literature. Malcolm Cowley’s critical introduction was praised as “splendid” by Faulkner himself.<br />  <br /> <b>Also includes:</b><br /> “A Justice”<br /> “The Courthouse” (from <i>Requiem for a Nun</i>)<br /> “Red Leaves”<br /> “Was” (from <i>Go Down, Moses</i>)<br /> “Raid” (from <i>The Unvanquished</i>) <br /> “Wash”<br /> “An Odor of Verbena” (from <i>The Unvanquished</i>)<br /> “That Evening Sun”<br /> “Ad Astra”<br /> “Dilsey” (from <i>The Sound and the Fury</i>)<br /> “Death Drag”<br /> “Uncle Bud and the Three Madams” (from <i>Sanctuary)</i><br /> “Percy Grimm” (from <i>Light in August</i>)<br /> “Delta Autumn” (from <i>Go Down, Moses</i>)<br /> “The Jail” (from <i>Requiem for a Nun</i>.)
