About this book
James Branch Cabell is by Carl Van Doren and was published in 1925. The contents list Cabell Minor, Cabell Major and Scholia, with a bibliography. The text says there are more arguments to prove that James Branch Cabell is a legend than to prove that he is a fact.
The book says that both by its wit and by its beauty, Jurgen is entitled to survive. Chivalry is named as a particular favorite of Mark Twain, who kept it at his bedside. The book describes the invented medieval province of Poictesme as one that speedily grows familiar to any imagination which ventures into it without undue prejudice, for it has its own logic, as well as its own history and geography.
