In Print: ‘Knight’s Gambit: The Restored Edition’
Originally published in 1949, “Knight’s Gambit” by William Faulkner is a collection of six stories that focus on the criminal investigations of attorney Gavin Stevens. These stories originally appeared in magazines, where editors made substantial changes to Faulkner’s manuscripts before publishing them. John Duvall, the Margaret Church Distinguished Professor of English, uncovered edited typescripts that revealed the deletions and changes — allowing him to restore these six stories to their original Faulknerian glory. Duvall’s adaptation is the latest in Purdue Today’s weekly “In Print” series, which highlights faculty expertise across a diversity of subjects and disciplines.
