A collection of William Faulkner memorabilia primarily including first editions (some inscribed) of his novels, manuscripts, personal correspondence (a telegram to his daughter) and a typed carbon of his Nobel Prize speech was auctioned at Christie's in NYC today (Tuesday, June 22). The entire collection, which according to Christie's was a nearly complete representation of Faulkner's work, was valued at over a million dollars. The actual selling price for the collection was $833, 246. Neither the seller nor the buyer were identified by the renowned auction house. See a complete list of the items that were auctioned at Christie's website.
The largest grossing single item at the auction was a first edition copy of Faulkner's masterpiece Absalom, Absalom! which was inscribed to Faulkner's friend, journalist and editor Malcolm Cowley. The rare novel, only two other inscribed copies of Absalom, Absalom! have been auctioned in the last thirty years, exceeded the pre-sale estimate by over $20,000. The novel sold for $86,500.
The second highest grossing item, at $47,500, was a first edition of Light in August, also inscribed to Malcom Cowley. A manuscript fragment of this 1932 novel sold for $32,500. A manuscript draft fragment for his story/novella The Bear sold for $15,000. The 1946 edition of The Portable Faulkner, a copy of which appears in the library of nearly every English major in American and which was edited by Malcolm Cowley, sold for just under $25,000.
The original carbon typescript of Faulker's Nobel Prize speech was estimated at $15,000, but I cannot ascertain from Christie's list if there was a purchase price. Christie's also sold a Mississippi Hunting and Fishing License issued to William Faulkner in 1954 and a collection of 39 photographs of the Nobel Prize winning author.
William Faulkner, one of the world's greatest novelists, was born in 1897 in New Albany, MS; however, his family moved to Oxford, MS, when he was four. His name was actually Falkner but he changed the spelling because he thought it more distinguished. It was in the mythical county of Yoknapatawpa, modeled on Layfayette County, that Faulkner set most of his novels. The home Faulkner built in Oxford is owend by the University of Mississippi and is open to the public as a museum. Faulkner, who died on July 6, 1962, received the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature.
