A very good+ copy in a very good- dust jacket. A renowned scholar of Southern Literature and the preeminent Faulkner authority, Noel Polk (1943-2012) was Professor of English at the University of Southern Mississippi from 1977 to 2004 where he also served as editor of the university's THE SOUTHERN QUARTERLY. Polk joined Mississippi State University in the fall of 2004 and assumed the editorship of MISSISSIPPI QUARTERLY and was soon appointed Professor Emeritus. The book was acquired from the estate of Mississippi State University English professor Peyton W. Williams, Jr., a renowned southern literature scholar and a Faulkner specialist as well and who started teaching at the school in 1950 and served as editor of MISSISSIPPI QUARTERLY from 1970 until his death in 1987. During his brief tenure as a student at the University of Mississippi William Faulkner authored his play THE MARIONETTES in 1920 for a student drama club of the same name. Although the play was never staged, Faulkner personally hand-lettered and bound six copies (some sources cite eight) all of which shared b/w illustrations in an Art Nouveau style reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley. Most of the original copies were sold to fellow Ole Miss students allegedly to raise funds for Faulkner's whiskey consumption. Four extant copies are known: two owned by the University of Texas, one by the University of Virginia, and one in a private collection in Columbus, Mississippi. ISBN 0813907349.
