James Branch Cabell Library 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.

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

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. ( News Flash [1999]: The first ever recording of American composer Deems Taylor's Symphonic Poem for Orchestra based on Jurgen , produced by yours truly, is now available! Go

Encyclopedia Cabell, Branch (James Branch Cabell) ( kă bəl ), 1879–1958, American novelist, b. Richmond, Va., grad. William and Mary, 1898. After various experiences as a journalist and a coal miner he began writing fiction. His early works, which are sophisticated novels deriding conventional history, include Gallantry Chivalry (1909), and The Rivet in Grandfather's Neck (1915). Many of Cabell's most popular novels are set in the imaginary medieval kingdom of Poictesme; among these are The Cream of the Jest Jurgen (1919)—Cabell's most famous work because of its attempted suppression on charges of obscenity—and The Silver Stallion (1926). Cabell's novels are usually pointedly antirealistic, and many of them can be considered moral allegories. Although he was enormously popular in the 1920s, his highly artifical prose style and subject matter lost favor with critics and public alike by the 1930s. His nonfictional writing includes
