Russell July 2005 Paperback From Library Journal A writer and lawyer, Masters (1868-1950) achieved readership, fame, and controversy with the publication of Spoon River Anthology (SRA) in 1915. Having grown up in rural Illinois, his setting for the Spoon River epitaphs, Masters wanted to write truths that were purely American. Freeing himself from poetic rules, which earned him much criticism, Masters created the 214 poems that make up the SRA. Masters published 54 works poetry, plays, essays, novels, biographies but none received the international success or critical attention that SRA did.

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Edgar Lee Masters (1869-1950) American poet and novelist, best-known as the author of SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY (1915), a series of 'auto-epitaphs' or monologues in free verse, which often contradicted the pious and optimistic epitaphs written on the gravestones. The book gained Masters a large following and set him in the vanguard of the Chicago literary renaissance. "Life all around me here in the village: Tragedy, comedy, valor and truth, Courage, constancy, heroism, failure - All in the loom, and oh what patterns!" ('Petit, the Poet,' from Spoon River Anthology Edgar Lee Masters was born in Garnett, Kansas. In 1880 his family settled at Lewistown, Illinois, near Spoon River, where Masters grew up on his grandfather's farm. Lewistown and Petersburg became models for the scene of his poems in Spoon River Anthology . Masters's father, Hardin, was a lawyer, and did not encourage his son's literary aspirations, refusing to support studies in this field. Masters attended Knox College, known for its conservatism, and in 1891 he was admitted to the bar. After practicing law with his father for a year, he moved to Chicago, where he worked as a lawyer for nearly thirty years. As a result of a boyhood case of pneumonia, Masters had always been weak in the lungs, and in 1915 he contracted pneumonia through overwork. His legal clients started to decrease partly because his revealing poems about bigotry and liaisons in
