Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Edgar Lee Masters (1869-1950) American poet and novelist, best-known as the author of SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY (1915), a series of 'auto-epitaphs' or monologues in free verse, which often contradicted the pious and optimistic epitaphs written on the gravestones. The book gained Masters a large following and set him in the vanguard of the Chicago literary renaissance. "Life all around me here in the village: Tragedy, comedy, valor and truth, Courage, constancy, heroism, failure - All in the loom, and oh what patterns!" ('Petit, the Poet,' from Spoon River Anthology Edgar Lee Masters was born in Garnett, Kansas. In 1880 his family settled at Lewistown, Illinois, near Spoon River, where Masters grew up on his grandfather's farm. Lewistown and Petersburg became models for the scene of his poems in Spoon River Anthology . Masters's father was a lawyer, and did not encourage his son's literary aspirations, refusing to support studies in this field. He attended Knox College, and was admitted to the bar in 1891. He moved to Chicago, where he worked as a lawyer for nearly thirty years. He contracted pneumonia through overwork and his legal clients started to decrease partly because his revealing poems about bigotry and liaisons in Spoon River arose controversy. After retiring Masters devoted himself entirely to writing.

Avvocato a Chicago, nel 1915 pubblica l'opera alla quale resta legato il suo nome, L'antologia di Spoon River , che s'ispira agli epigrammi sepolcrali greci e propone un folgorante ritratto della profonda provincia americana sospesa fra Otto e Novecento. Il successo fu immenso e immediato, in patria come in Europa, mentre le opere che seguirono non seppero ripeterlo. ne ha tratto addirittura un album (1971), mentre Francesco Guccini lo cita nella sua Canzone per Piero Muore a Melrose Park in Pennsylvania nel 1950.

Masters, Edgar Lee was born in 1869 at Garnett, Kansas, and grew up in Lewistown, Illinois. His family was poor. As a result, he never graduated from college, but managed to study law and become an attorney at the age of 27. Through hard work and self- determination, he became a partner of the famous defense attorney, Clarence Darrow. However, being a lawyer and working with Clarence Darrow didn't make him famous or prestigious. It was his poems, which were compiled into a volume, known as "The Spoon River Anthology," which attracted the attention of the public and led to his fame. This anthology consists of more than 200 short poems in free verse. Additionally, he wrote a verse play called "Manila" based upon the collection. So, what is Spoon River? Well, Spoon River is an imaginary Midwestern village, based on Lewiston, Illinois , and each of the poems includes comments and opinions of former residents of the village who are now dead and buried in the Spoon River cemetery. These people contemplate the meaning of their lives by recalling their contributions and personal or family histories. Besides the Spoon River Anthology, Edgar Lee Masters completed other works including "Maximilian" (1902), a volume of poetry and series of essays on imperialism; "The New Star Chamber and Other Essays" (1904), a collection of essays written during the 1900 presidential campaign; and "The Blood of the Prophets" (1905), a compilations of poems related to anti-imperialism.

Anti-Imperialist Writings by Edgar Lee Masters By Jim Zwick Photograph of Edgar Lee Masters A lthough he began his career as a lawyer, Edgar Lee Masters (1869-1950) is well-known today as a poet, his Spoon River Anthology still appreciated by many. Unlike most of the anti-imperialists, Masters opposed the Spanish-American War. "I had read enough in the papers to know that war was avoidable," he wrote in his autobiography, Across Spoon River (1936), "and I resolved to have nothing to do with it." He was roused to action by the annexation of the Philippines and the beginning of the new war there. He threw himself into studying the history of the Constitution and the United States' republican form of government, and within the next few years wrote a play, Maximilian (1902), a volume of poetry, and a series of essays on imperialism. During the 1900 presidential campaign, he wrote numerous essays and speeches opposing imperialism and supporting the campaign of William Jennings Bryan , the anti-imperialist Democratic candidate.

Edgar Lee Masters' Life and Career Ronald Primeau M asters was born in Garnett, Kansas, the son of Hardin Wallace Masters, a lawyer, and Emma J. Dexter. Though his father had moved the family briefly to Kansas to set up a law practice, Masters grew up in the western Illinois farmlands where his grandparents had settled in the 1820s. He was educated in the public schools in Petersburg and Lewistown (where he worked as a newspaper printer after school) and spent a year in an academy school hoping to gain admission to Knox College. Instead of entering college, he read law with his father and, after a brief stint as a bill collector in Chicago, formed a law partnership in 1893 with Kickham Scanlan. Over the next ten years he expressed his Populist views in a series of essays and plays, written under the pseudonym Dexter Wallace. In 1898 he married Helen M. Jenkins, the daughter of a Chicago lawyer; they had three children. In 1903 he joined Clarence Darrow's law firm, where he defended the poor over the next eight years. Some dozen plays and books of poems during this period are undistinguished, serving mostly as political tracts and verse exercises. Extramarital affairs and an argument with Darrow unsettled his personal and professional life from 1908 to 1911, when he went into law practice on his own. In 1914 Masters began a series of poems about his boyhood experiences in western Illinois, published (under the pseudonym Webster Ford) in

Add to a Notebook Edgar Lee Masters Edgar Lee Masters was born in Garnett, Kansas, on August 23, 1868, but soon after his birth his family moved to Lewistown, Illinois, the town near Springfield where Masters grew up. His youth was marred by his father's financial struggles with a faltering law practice and reluctance to support his son's literary interests. Masters attended Knox College for a year but was then forced by the family's finances to withdraw and continue his studies privately. He was admitted to the bar in 1891, and he moved to Chicago in 1892, where he found a job collecting bills for the Edison Company. He gradually built a successful law practice, and for eight years he was the partner of Clarence Darrow. In 1898 he published his first collection, A Book of Verses, and married Helen Jenkins. His first books, some of which were published under pseudonyms, showed strong influences from the English Romantic poets and Edgar Allan Poe During this time Masters considered writing a novel about the relationships of people in a small Illinois town. This idea was transformed through a chance acquaintance. Masters had been submitting poems to Marion Reedy, the editor of

In 1915, Edgar Lee Masters published The Spoon River Anthology, a book of 244 poems spoken by the deceased residents of Spoon River (a rural area in Illinois) from their graves on "the hill". The book created a stir because many of the supposedly fictional speakers were recognizable as real people. The poems are remarkable for the breadth of personalities and the honesty with which they speak. All the poems were written in free verse, which puts them outside the scope of this "formalist" anthology. Nonetheless, I include some here because they are moving and haunting. These poems are food for my spirit like no other. I recommend this book more strongly than any other book of poetry. – Editor The Hill Minerva Jones Doc Hill Sarah Brown ... Lucinda Matlock

back home up next Mrs. Charles Bliss Reverend Wiley advised me not to divorce him For the sake of the children, And Judge Somers advised him the same. So we stuck to the end of the path. But two of the children thought he was right, And two of the children thought I was right. And the two who sided with him blamed me, And the two who sided with me blamed him, And they grieved for the one they sided with. And all were torn with the guilt of judging, And tortured in soul because they could not admire Equally him and me. Now every gardener knows that plants grown in cellars Or under stones are twisted and yellow and weak. And no mother would let her baby suck Diseased milk from her breast.
