Extractions: Richmond author James Branch Cabell is best known for his controversial Jurgen (1919), one of several ironic fantasies he wrote that took place in Cabell's mythical medieval world of Poictesme (Pwa-tem). Jurgen , laced with erotic overtones, was considered pornographic by some and a trial over its content brought the reclusive writer national fame. Throughout the 1920s, Cabell was highly regarded by his literary peers H.L. Mencken, Sinclair Lewis, and others praised his works. His medieval romanticism and fantasy were in fact thinly disguised commentary on the manners of those times. As the 1930s approached, when the realism of writers like Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck came into vogue, Cabell's sophisticated writing voice fell out of favor with the reading public. Cabell continued to write and by the end of his life he had authored some 52 volumes of work. Today, some recognize Cabell as one of the first contemporary writers from the South. Like his friend and fellow Richmond writer Ellen Glasgow (1873-1945), Cabell was not afraid to satirize what he saw as the South's contradictions. Others, noting Cabell's unique blending of classic myths and legends with his own imagination, consider him a pioneer of fantasy writing. His work has been admired by a diverse group of writers, including Carl Van Vechten, Margaret Mitchell, Edmund Wilson, Robert Heinlein, and Neil Gaiman.

Extractions: James Cabell site I met James Branch Cabell at Richmond and got on very well with him. He has a very high colour and a thin fine skin over which hangs down by the side of the queer Jurgenish snub-nose a black ribbon from his glasses. His colour is so high that it suggests that his face is a delicate sponge that has sucked up blood. As I looked at his face, as we talked over the fire in the house of his aunt, it seemed to me as if it might suddenly drip all over with a delicate and fine bloody sweat. He has very fine hands; and is so self-conscious and shy that his sedate dignity is like that of a school-boy (a plump head boy) dressed up for the end of term performance of the Frogs of Aristophanes. Kekety! kax! koax! koax! (Knoxville, Tenn., 23 November 1925 - Letters to His Brother Llewelyn J.B.Cabell was a novelist, best known for his creation of a mythical French province, Poictesme, whose 'history' from 1234 to 1750 he tells in a series of allegorical novels which are an indirect comment on American life. One novel of the series, Jurgen (1919), was suppressed as being immoral.

Throughout the 1920s, Cabell was highly regarded by his literary peers H.L. Mencken, Sinclair Lewis, and others praised his works. His medieval romanticism and fantasy were in fact thinly disguised commentary on the manners of those times. Cabell was born in Richmond, Virginia on April 14, 1879 at 101 E. Franklin St., the present site of the Richmond Public Library. His father was Robert Gamble Cabell, II (1847-1922), a physician; his mother Anne Harris (1859-1915), daughter of Col. and Mrs James R. Branch. Cabell's great grandfather was William H. Cabell, governor of Virginia from 1805-1808. Cabell had two brothers, Robert Gamble Cabell, III (1881-1968) and John Lottier Cabell (1883-1946). His parents separated and were later divorced in 1907. After attending William and Mary College (1893-1898), where he taught courses in French and Greek while an undergraduate, Cabell worked briefly at the Richmond Times as a copy-holder. Beginning in 1899 he lived for two years in New York City, working for the

Extractions: Being in the Main an Ethnological Account of the Remarkable Commonwealth of Virginia and the Making of Its History By James Branch Cabell, With a Foreword by R.H.W. Dillard ISBN 0-8139-2043-4 The Virginia Bookshelf When Let Me Lie was first published in 1947, most reviewers missed the double meaning of the book's title. Deaf to James Branch Cabell's many-layered ironic wit, they read the book as a paean to the old South. Readers of this new paperback edition are unlikely to repeat the mistake. Let Me Lie is indeed a carefully researched and brilliantly written historical narrative of Virginia from 1559 to 1946focusing on Tidewater, Richmond, and the Northern Neckbut as a fictional scholar remarks in the book, Cabell's history is "both accurate and injudicious." Virginia's story of itself, Cabell claims, depends on illusion and myth, and his skill as a satirist allows him to construct and deflate these myths simultaneously. Ranging from Don Luis de Velasco and Captain John Smith to Edgar Allan Poe and Ellen Glasgow, from Confederate heroes to the oddities of the post-Civil War Old Dominion, Let Me Lie remains compulsively readable, as history, entertainment, or both.

Extractions: James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) America's Greatest Mythmaker by Desmond Tarrant For you and I are going a queer way, in search of justice, over the grave of a dream and through the malice of time. Jurgen The great American scholar Vernon Louis Parrington wrote, in Main Currents of American Thought , that Cabell was: A self-reliant intellectual, rich in the spoils of all literature, one of the great masters of English prose, the supreme comic figure thus far granted us, he stands apart from the throng of lesser American novelists. . Who was Cabell, what was his philosophy of life, and what did he write? He was born into one of Virginia's leading families on the 14 April 1879 in Richmond, Virginia. In Mark Twain's last tragic years, Cabell was his chief reading. Cabell was directly descended from two distinguished Southern families. He married Priscilla Bradley, a little older than himself, and they lived for many years in Dumbarton Grange, Virginia, an eighteenth century house which provided the setting for many of his novels. Later, he moved to Monument Avenue, Richmond, where I met him in 1957. Priscilla was described as "fair, energetic, and charming". In Cabell's autobiography he explained how she was the heart of his spiritual development and the figure who most haunted his writings. Gradually, he became one of America's most learned authors, fully matching the New England Transcendentalists.
