Summary
World Enough and Time is a sweeping historical novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Penn Warren, best known for All the King’s Men. First published in 1950, this masterfully written narrative transports readers to early 19th-century Kentucky, where politics, romance, and tragedy unfold in a haunting reimagining of the real-life Beauchamp–Sharp murder case. With poetic precision and deep psychological insight, Warren crafts a Southern Gothic drama infused with philosophical questions of time, identity, and morality.
This vintage Random House hardcover edition, bound in rust-brown cloth with gold-stamped spine and cover titles, exudes classic mid-century design. Though lacking a dust jacket, this copy is in excellent collectible condition—an ideal addition to any serious American literature or Southern fiction collection.
