About This Item
London: Chatto & Windus, 1942. Near fine in very good plus jacket.. First UK edition of Faulkner's novel in seven interconnected parts. Though early editions include the subtitle "And Other Stories" and much of its material had been previously published as individual short stories, Faulkner conceived of the book as a unified whole, proposing it to his Random House editor as "a more or less continuous narrative, somewhat after THE UNVANQUISHED" (Blotner). The UK edition followed a few months after the US edition and was printed to the "authorized economy standard" imposed on publishers by war shortages; copies in this condition are correspondingly uncommon. 8'' x 5.25''. Original green cloth. In original price-clipped peach printed dust jacket. 268, [2] pages. Boards lightly bumped. Jacket with slight soil and tiny chipping to top joints.
Synopsis
Go Down, Moses is a collection of Faulkner's stories that once strung together, tell the composite history of the McCaslin family, specifically of the white and black descendants of Lucius Quintus Carothers McCaslin and the residents of the plantation he founded.
