William Styron – The Confessions of Nat Turner (The Franklin Library, 1976) – Pulitzer Prize 1968

A finely bound limited edition of The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron, published by The Franklin Library exclusively for subscribers. This handsome volume, bound in deep brown full leather with gilt decoration and raised bands, pays homage to Styron’s bold and controversial reimagining of one of the most complex figures in American history.

Content
First published in 1967, The Confessions of Nat Turner retells the story of the 1831 slave revolt in Virginia through the fictionalized first-person voice of Nat Turner. Styron’s novel delves into the psyche of a man driven by faith, suffering, and rebellion — offering an unflinching exploration of guilt, morality, and humanity under the weight of slavery. The book provoked widespread debate upon release but remains one of the most significant works of 20th-century American literature, awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1968.

This Franklin Library edition features moving black-and-white illustrations by Kenneth Francis Dewey, capturing the novel’s intense emotional and historical atmosphere.
