	James Branch Cabell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cabell took an author's revenge: the revised edition of 1926 included a previously "lost" passage in which the hero is placed on trial by the Philistines, with a large dung-beetle as the chief prosecutor.
		Cabell's artistic aims, it is not easy to escape the fact that in Figures of Earth he undertook the staggering and almost unsuspected task of rewriting humanity's sacred books, just as in Jurgen he gave us a stupendous analogue of the ceaseless quest for beauty.
		Cabell is not a novelist at all in the common acceptance of the term, but a historian of the human soul.

	Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works: James Branch Cabell
		James Branch Cabell was a man who had, earlier in life than most do (of those who do at all, that is), stared long and hard at the face of death and then reached his private accommodation with it.
		Cabell's accommodation to the fact of a permanent death is his election of a certain style of living as giving some sort of value and possibly meaning to what would otherwise be a cruel and idle jest.
		Cabell's characters vary considerably, as they must needs to act out the themes they are being called on to elaborate; but most or all of them are not, nor are they expected to be taken for, "realistic" portrayals of plausible persons.

		Cabell writes in a slightly tongue in cheek tone as he describes Jurgen's vanity, and most explicitly his penchant for the ladies.
		The most common phrases Cabell uses to describe Jurgen's sexual exploits are that Jurgen "intended to deal fairly" with a particular lady and to the effect that when Jurgen retired to a lovemaking place with the lady, the place therein was dark and nobody can see anything in the dark.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Domnei / James Branch Cabell
		One of Cabell's more enduring tales set in the magical, mythical alternate France that is Poictesme, Domnei, a "comedy of woman-worship," relates the sumptuous adventures of Perion, an outlaw who has been wrongly accused of the murder of a king.
		Cabell played quite a few games in his stories of Poictesme, and Domnei is linked with all of the other novels in complex ways that make the experienced Cabellian really amazed at the breadth of this mythos.
		Also, Cabell's prose contains joking references to other, even more ancient myths and legends that have fallen into such hopeless obscurity that reading a Cabell novel as the 21st century approaches is quite like looking into a faded, misty time capsule.

		Over time the absent Manuel himself acquires a mythic significance which many find convenient to accept, some (as we are told at the start of the book) sincerely, some from policy, some as a joke, some because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
		Cabell's fantasies, like those of William Morris, of Lord Dunsany, of many of their contemporaries (not all, but I don't want to interrupt a perfectly good peroration just to get the facts straight), were rooted in the middle ages.
