James Branch Cabell Library James Branch Cabell Richmond author James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) 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. 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

James Branch Cabell "For, as you of course perceive, the literary artist plays: he does nothing else, except with haste and grudgingly; and the sole end of his endeavor is to divert himself." Cabell, Straws and Prayer Books James Branch Cabell of Richmond, Virginia wrote about 50 books between 1905 and 1955, including an "octodecalogy" (18-volume work) called the Biography of The Life of Manuel . Actually, although the Biography was published in 18 volumes of the Storsende Edition , true Cabell fans know that by proper counting it is really 20 volumes, thus following the "fixed law of Poictesme that all things must go by tens forever". Cabell's rise to fame began with the volume of the Biography called Jurgen , a highly entertaining novel about the eponymous pawnbroker involving elements of fantasy, mythology, adventure, satire, and commentary on human nature. Cabell may win the award for the most obscure writer (today) who at one time was hugely famous. In the early 1920's, after

Home Page On the Craft of Spoiling Paper The Judging of Jurgen List of Works ames Branch Cabell wrote over fifty novels during his seventy-nine years, the most famous of which are the eighteen known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel , which follow the line of descent of the mythic Dom Manuel the Redeemer from medieval Poictesme to Cabell's own contemporary Richmond–in–Virginia. During his heydey he won the admiration of some of the most important literary figures of the time— Arthur Machen, Carl Van Doren, Louis Untermeyer, Burton Rascoe, Hugh Walpole, and Sinclair Lewis. Mark Twain's greatest pleasure during his last years was Cabell's work, The Soul of Melicent was written at his request. H.L. Mencken referred to Cabell as “a lingering survivor of the ancien régime : a scarlet dragonfly imbedded in opaque amber He viewed Cabell as the sole survivor of the tradition of gentile southern aristocracy, the sole writer of worth in a cultural wasteland. “If it ( the south ) has heard, which I doubt, that Cabell has been hoofed by the Comstocks, it unquestionably views that assault as a deserved rebuke to a fellow who indulges a lewd passion for fancy writing, and is a covert enemy to the Only True Christianity.” Cabell reached his zenith after the publishers of his novel Jurgen were brought to court by John S. Sumner, of the New York Society for the Supression of Vice in 1920. Cabell quickly responded by

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Figures of Earth James Branch Cabell Ballantine Books 1969 A book review by Danny Yee One of the classic American fantasy novels, Figures of Earth one of many works set in Cabell's universe, a pseudo-medieval world with a lot of fantastic props. The story describes the life of Manuel, a swineherd of divine birth who rises to become a legendary hero and ruler. His adventures are told with a down-to-earth, pragmatic humour that verges on the cynical, and interspersed with short philosophical ruminations and poetical excursions, mostly on such things as the nature of love, relations between the sexes and personal commitments and journeys. None of these are, however, allowed to distract from the story, and everything is undercut by the humour; Cabell certainly doesn't take himself too seriously. I enjoyed Figures of Earth a lot; its humour was so enjoyably sophisticated that I had to check that the author really was an American :-). 13 September 1993 Related reviews: fantasy Ballantine Books %T Figures of Earth %A Cabell, James Branch

==a critical list with discussions== This is a brief discussion of James Branch Cabell and, of course, of some books by James Branch Cabell. This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Cabell; it includes those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark ( ) before the title so you know what's what.) I don't pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Cabell tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Cabell worthy; in sum, to help you rank Cabell (and the works by Cabell listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.

THE LOST CLUB JOURNAL 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.
