Beschreibung
The memoirs of one of Illinois' great poets, author of Spoon River Anthology, with many vignettes of the Chicago Renaissance.This intimate and provocative autobiography, first published in 1936, reveals the innermost thoughts of a great American poet. Edgar Lee Masters was a transitional figure in American literature with one foot planted in the nineteenth century and the other firmly placed on the path of what we now think of as the modern period.Richly illustrated throughout with black and white photographs."e;Across Spoon River: An Autobiography is blunt and cranky about a life [Masters] saw as largely "e;scrappy and unmanageable."e; Emphasizing life on his grandfather's farm, his school days, his political battles, the workday world, and the growth of a poet's mind through wide reading, the book is a valuable record of Masters's work habits and offers considerable insight on his position as a critic and his place in American literature."e;-Ronald Primeau, American National Biography
