This newly restored edition presents the stories the way Faulkner intended them. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published in 1949, \u003ci\u003eKnight's Gambit\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of six stories written in the 1930s and 1940s that focus on the criminal investigations of Gavin Stevens, the county attorney of Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, where so many of his famous novels are set. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese stories originally appeared in magazines, where editors made substantial changes to Faulkner's manuscripts before publishing them. Some of these changes seem to have been intended to make the stories conform to prevailing styles, some were made for concision or propriety, and some to remove the regional \"Southernness\" of Faulkner's tales. Scholar John N. Duvall uncovered edited typescripts that revealed the deletions and changes and allowed him to restore these six stories to their original Faulknerian glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593686485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.19w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e57002 \/ Knight's Gambit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"William Faulkner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43505751064757,"sku":"9780593686485","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b4cc298b-acc7-4f11-b25a-19a2771c9b9e.jpg?v=1705423655","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/knights-gambit-the-restored-edition-9780593686485","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
