FAULKNER, William. Sartoris. New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1929.
8o. Original black cloth (a bit rubbed, front hinge weak); printed dust jacket designed by Arthur Hawkins (few minor nicks). Provenance: Edith M. Brown (presentation inscription); Louis Daniel Brodsky (then deaccessioned from the Brodsky-Faulkner collection at Southeast Missouri State University).

Brown was one of three children of Calvin S. Brown, Faulkner's romance language professor at "Ole Miss" in the late teens. According to Frederick Karl, Brown was perhaps the most distinguished faculty member at the university, a Renaissance man who taught languages, archaeology and geology, and collected sleigh bells and mortars and pestles. He awarded Faulkner with a prize for a poem at the end of school (See Karl, William Faulkner, 1989, pp. 140, 153).
EXTREMELY RARE INSCRIBED: According to ABPC, no inscribed copy of Sartoris has appeared at auction in at least the last thirty years. Massey 289; Peterson A5.1.
