      SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY

      By EDGAR LEE MASTERS

      SOME PRESS OPINIONS

      One of the greatest books of the present century.—Nation.

      The ‘Spoon River Anthology’ has certain qualities essential to greatness—originality of conception and treatment, a daring that would soar to the stars, an instant felicity and facility of expression.—C. E. Lawrence in The Daily Chronicle.

      Mr. Edgar Lee Masters will become a classic ... so close-packed is the book’s pregnant wit, so outspoken its language, so destructive of cant and pharisaism and the veneer of the proprieties, so piercingly true in insight.—Edward Garnett in The Manchester Guardian.

      It is a remarkable book and it grips.—Daily Telegraph.

      This book is of a quality that will endure.... Mr. Masters has been daring with the certainty of success.—Liverpool Daily Post.

      A quite remarkable volume of verse ... quite masterly.—Sphere.

      Its reality, ingenuity, irony, insight, and vision are unique.—Bookman.
