"A Linton R. Massey memorial publication."

"This edition first published 1977."

"Among the longest and most ambitious productions of William Faulkner's early career is his one-act play 'The Marionettes,' which he wrote, hand-lettered, -decorated, and -bound during his association with the drama group of that name at the University of Mississippi during the fall of 1920 ... Its facsimile publicaion in 1975 and particularly its reissue and more general availability in this volume are of special significance to any study of Faulkner's dedication to his craft and his development as an artist in these formative years."--Introduction.

"The facsimile ... is of the Virginia copy of the play."

"The introduction is a revised version of an essay that was originally published as 'William Faulkner's Marionettes' in the Mississippi quarterly, 26 (Summer 1973)"
