This edition is the unrevised text of Sanctuary ,as Faulkner submitted it to his Publisher. In the Modern Library Edition, Faulkner said, "Sanctuary was basely conceived to make money." His publisher read the manuscript and said "'Good God, I can't publish this, we'd both be in jail'". It wasn't until a year and a half later, that Faulkner, in "desperate, need of money, he decided it might sell; but before allowing it to be published, he revised heavily.".
