EDGAR LEE MASTERS' REMARKABLE BOOK
Spoon River Anthology
Mr. Masters' book is considered by many to be the most striking and important contribution to American letters in recent years:—
"An American 'Comedie Humaine' brings more characters into its pages than any American novel.... Takes its place among the masterpieces which are not of a time or a locality."—Boston Transcript.
"A work splendid in observation, marvelous in the artistry of exclusion, yet of democratic inclusiveness, piercingly analytic of character, of plastic facility of handling, sympathetic underneath irony, humorous, pathetic, tragic, comic, particular yet universal—a Comedie Humaine—a creation of a whole community of personalities."—William Marion Reedy.
"We find a strange impressiveness, akin to greatness, in the 'Spoon River Anthology' of Edgar Lee Masters.... It is a book which, whether one likes it or not, one must respect."—The New Republic.
