An Illinois Iconoclast: Edgar Lee Masters and the Anti-Lincoln Tradition MATTHEW D. NORMAN In 1931 a revival of the anti-Lincoln tradition reached its peak with the publication of Edgar Lee Masters's acrid biography Lincoln: The Man . Lyon G. Tyler and Mildred Lewis Rutherford had led this revival during the 1920s and they were, perhaps not surprisingly, unreconstructed Confederates. Masters, however, had grown up in the very heart of Lincoln country and attained a national literary reputation with his Spoon River Anthology (1915). How did Masters, this native of the Illinois prairie, come to despise Abraham Lincoln? Why did he write what was arguably the most controversial Lincoln biography of the twentieth century? Petersburg and New Salem are both located in Menard County, and until Hardin moved the family to Lewistown, Illinois, in 1880, Masters grew up surrounded by people who had known Abraham Lincoln. William H. Herndon, Lincoln's third law partner and biographer, was a friend and sometimes legal partner of Hardin Masters who regaled young Masters with stories about Lincoln. Masters's paternal grandfather, Squire Davis Masters, was another contemporary of Lincoln who had a profound impact on young Edgar Lee. Masters's grandfather was an early settler of the county and owned a farm that was situated just a few miles from New [End Page 43] Salem. Squire Masters served in the Black Hawk War, and on at least one occasion he retained Lincoln's services as an attorney.

Chicago was also the home of Harriet Monroe's Poetry , the most important literary magazine of the day. Among the intriguing contemporary poets the journal printed was Edgar Lee Masters, author of the daring Spoon River Anthology (1915), with its new "unpoetic" colloquial style, frank presentation of sex, critical view of village life, and intensely imagined inner lives of ordinary people. Spoon River Anthology is a collection of portraits presented as colloquial epitaphs (words found inscribed on gravestones) summing up the lives of individual villagers as if in their own words. It presents a panorama of a country village through its cemetery: 250 people buried there speak, revealing their deepest secrets. Many of the people are related; members of about 20 families speak of their failures and dreams in free-verse monologues that are surprisingly modern. Index

Each piece reveals the motivations and inner life of a certain type of character found in a fictional small town. This masterpiece brought him out of obscurity, winning him the admiration of Ezra Pound and Carl Sandburg , and inspiring many up-and-coming writers. Unfortunately, although Masters continued to publish poems, novels, and nonfiction for the rest of his life, he never again lived up to the early success of "Spoon River."
