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.

from Mike Keith's James Cabell site Cabell, James Branch (1879-1958) I met James Branch Cabell at Richmond and got on very well with him. He has a very high colour and a thin fine skin over which hangs down by the side of the queer Jurgenish snub-nose a black ribbon from his glasses. His colour is so high that it suggests that his face is a delicate sponge that has sucked up blood. As I looked at his face, as we talked over the fire in the house of his aunt, it seemed to me as if it might suddenly drip all over with a delicate and fine bloody sweat. He has very fine hands; and is so self-conscious and shy that his sedate dignity is like that of a school-boy (a plump head boy) dressed up for the end of term performance of the Frogs of Aristophanes. Kekety! kax! koax! koax!

One novel of the series, Jurgen (1919), was suppressed as being immoral.
