Welcome to my James Branch Cabell Page You have arrived...at one of the few James Branch Cabell pages on the WWW. (The other one you should not fail to check out is at the J.B.C. Library at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.) Who, you may ask, is James Branch Cabell? Ah, where to begin? James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) of Richmond, Virginia wrote about 50 books between 1905 and 1955, including the only octodecalogy that I'm aware of in literature - that's an 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.

Virginia Commonwealth University Ask a Librarian Text Only a ... Other Libraries James Branch Cabell "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true." James Branch Cabell from The Silver Stallion 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.

email donate directory Great Science-Fiction a critical list with discussions Science-Fiction and Fantasy Books by James Branch Cabell This is a brief discussion of James Branch Cabell and, of course, of some books by James Branch Cabell A Few Words About James Branch Cabell Without a doubt, the central fact of human existence must be the inevitable end of that existence: death. No philosophies, no beliefs, no ways of life that are not founded on a careful examination of the significance of life as seen in the light of death are worth a pitcher of warm spit. James Branch Cabell was a man who had, earlier in life than most do (of those who do at all, that is), stared long and hard at the face of death and then reached his private accommodation with it. That is rare: any life-insurance salesman will tell you that everyone lives forever, or at least conducts their affairs apparently firm in that belief. Somemany I supposeof those who have looked at that grinning skull have taken their refuge in one or another religion; Cabell was not one of them. And the tale says that in the cave of Clioth was not absolute darkness, but, instead, a dim blue glowing everywhere, as though the gleam of decay were intermingled here with the gleam of moonshine. Upon both sides of the cave showed a long row of crumbling altars; and every altar was inscribed with the device of one or another god.
