Spoon River Anthology (Signet Classics)
Edgar Lee Masters

Signet Classics, 2007

Here are Masters's dramatic monologues written in free verse about a fictional Midwestern town called Spoon River. The dead, "sleeping on the hill" in their village cemetery, awaken to tell the truth about their lives, toppling the myth of the moral superiority of small-town life.

Spoon River Anthology
This is a magnificent collection of short prose and monologues. It's the entire collection and not the stage version (the stage version is condensed and doesn't include all the pieces). All the pieces are given by characters who have come back from the grave to tell a short annecdote about themselves while alive. Some are humorous, some are tragic, and some are moralistic. Most characters are ...

The Fate of the Jury an Epilogue to Domesday Book
Edgar Lee Masters

Kessinger Publishing, 2005

1929. From the dust jacket: As a second title to this poem, Edgar Lee Masters has chosen An Epilogue to Domesday Book, for here he has reconnected in a separate and complete narrative, the lives of the jurymen that figured in that earlier poem. The central portrait is of the coroner, Merivale, and his love for the mysteriously beautiful Arielle; against this are told the stories of the other men. Each is a testimony to the inner meaning of live, ...

Spoon River Anthology
Edgar Lee Masters

Neeland Media LLC, 2007

"Spoon River Anthology" is a collection of poetry taken from the tombstones of the dead in a small rural American town. There is of course no Spoon River as the entire town and its inhabitants are fictional. "Spoon River Anthology" is Masters\'s masterpiece, a collection of poetry that reveals the posthumous confessions of the transgressions of a group of small-town Americans. Together this collection reads like a novel exposing the fallacy in ...

Penguin Classics, 2008

The innovative free verse collection of small-town life that made Edgar Lee Masters a legend A literary sensation when it appeared in 1915, Spoon River Anthology earned Edgar Lee Masters comparisons to T. S. Eliot and Walt Whitman. The characters who speak here tarnish the pure image of their Midwestern hamlet by holding forth from the grave with tales of illicit love affairs, betrayed confidences, political corruption, and miserable ...

We Are The Dead Of Spoon River...
Upon its release Edgar Lee Masters' collection of free verse poems must have shaken the literary universe. In an era when the mores of polite Victorianism were still lingering in an America concerned with all things proper, Masters dared pen a book in which the dead of a small Midwestern town lie not in a state of reservation before Christian resurrection, but in a condition of stasis, ruminating ...

Think Clinton is the scummiest Pres.? Well think again!!!
Scully and Moulder rejoice, because this book proves "The Truth is Out There". I strongly recommend this book to anyone who yearns to understand why our country is currently in such terrible shape. You will never refer to Lincoln as "Honest Abe" or "The Great Emancipator" ever again after reading this work. I pray that the history books do not lie to our children and revere Clinton the way ...
