About the author

James Branch Cabell

1879–1958

Best known for the witty and once-controversial novel Jurgen, this Richmond-born writer brought fantasy, satire, and sharp social comedy together in a style that made him a standout voice of the early 20th century. Admired by literary contemporaries such as H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis, he wrote with elegance, irony, and a taste for the absurd.
