Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters
A landmark of 20th-century American literature: a series of over 200 compelling free-verse monologues in which former citizens of a mythical Midwestern town speak touchingly from the grave of the thwarted hopes and dreams of their lives. Reprinted from the authoritative 1915 edition.Edgar Lee Masters was born in Garnett, Kansas, in 1868. After the release of Spoon River Anthology in 1915, he rose to prominence. Masters was a prolific writer of varied works, yet he never surpassed the success of Spoon River Anthology. The Big Valley (1916), Along the Illinois (1942), The Snake in the Wilderness (1933), and Invisible Landscapes (1935) are only a few of his poetry collections. The Poetry Society of America medal, the Shelley Memorial Award, and the Academy of American Poets Fellowship were all given to him in the 1940s. Edgar Lee Masters was born in Melrose, Pennsylvania, and died in Petersburg, Illinois, in 1950.
