Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters Spoon River Anthology (1915), by Edgar Lee Masters, is a collection of short, free verse poems that collectively narrates the epitaphs of the residents of Spoon River, a fictional small town named after the real Spoon River that ran near Masters' home town. The aim of the poems is to demystify the rural, small town American life. The collection includes two hundred and twelve separate characters, all providing two-hundred forty-four accounts of their lives, losses, and manner of death. Many of the poems contain cross-references that create an unabashed tapestry of the community. The poems were originally published in the magazine Reedy's Mirror. Each following poem is an autobiographical epitaph of a dead citizen, delivered by the dead themselves. Characters include Tom Merritt, Amos Sibley, Carl Hamblin, Fiddler Jones and A.D. Blood. They speak about the sorts of things one might expect: some recite their histories and turning points, others make observations of life from the outside, and petty ones complain of the treatment of their graves, while few tell how they really died. The subject of afterlife receives only the occasional brief mention, and even those seem to be contradictory. Speaking without reason to lie or fear the consequences, they construct a picture of life in their town that is shorn of façades. The interplay of various villagers -- e.g. a bright and successful man crediting his parents for all he's accomplished, and an old woman weeping because he is secretly her illegitimate child -- forms a gripping, if not pretty, whole.

A CLASSIC IN AMERICAN POETRY... When Spoon River Anthology was published in 1915 it garnered immediate national attention for its truth and its shocking transgression of societal mores. A collection of poems from the graveyard of a rural Illinois town, Spoon River Anthology poignantly captures the politics, love, betrayals, alliances, hopes, and failures of this small American town. Here is the respected doctor, jailed for swindling; here is the chaste wife, rapt with desire; here is the pastor, angry and resentful; here is the quiet man, filled with unrequited love and devotion. Beneath the midwestern values of honesty, community, family, hard work, and chastity, Spoon River Anthology reveals the disillusionment and corruption in modern life. With the publication of Spoon River Anthology Masters exploded the powerful myth that small-town America was a social utopia. Here for the first time was a community that people recognized in its wholeness and complexity. Comprised of distinctly modern poems that collectively read as a novel, Spoon River Anthology is the story of a quiet midwestern town whose truths and contradictions are celebrated by its dead.

"Originally published in "Reedy's Mirror" from May 29, 1914 until January 5, 1915 and then first in book form in 1915 with an expanded edition in 1916, "Spoon River Anthology" is a collection of poetry inspired by the tombstones of the dead in a small rural American town. There is no real Spoon River as the entire town and its inhabitants are fictional but much of the town and its deceased occupants are based in part on Masters' own childhood growing up in small towns in Illinois. "Spoon River Anthology" is Edgar Lee Masters' masterpiece, a collection of poetry that weaves a tapestry of the lives of a group of small-town Americans, which taken together reads like a novel critiquing the notion of the idyllic rural American life. A critical and financial success from its first publication, "Spoon River Anthology" is a truly original work of American literature, the likes of which there has not been before or since. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper; follows the expanded 1916 edition with its additional thirty-five poems, "The Spooniad", and the epilogue; and includes an introduction by May Swenson."

The most striking thing about "The Great Valley," however, is the resemblance to Browning. The following lines, typical of many, might have come straight out of "Bishop Blougram's Apology," or, for that matter, "Fra Lippo Lippi": "What is art? No picture would be painted, poem sung, Save for the thought that woman close at hand, Or somewhere in the world yet to be found By reason of the picture or the poem, Will see and love you for it." The resemblance to Browning in spirit was fore- shadowed in the "Spoon River Anthology." The dra- matic instinct, the power to get inside the hearts and brains of scores of different men and women, to see a single situation from the standpoints of half a dozen people concerned in it, -this is what, above all else, guided Browning, as it has guided Masters. But the similarity in form, in method of expression, scarcely per- ceptible amid the unruly chaos of the Spoon River graveyard, becomes startling in many of the poems in the later book. _Of Masters' extraordinary dramatic power there can be, it seems to me, no reasonable question. No other American poet has shown so consistently the ability to compress life into a few lines. "The Great Valley" frees him from the charge of concerning himself almost exclusively with squalid lives, to which the earlier volume fairly exposed him. The great question is as to the form in which he does it.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters.The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.Masters, Edgar Lee, 1868-1950, The Spoon River Anthology is a collection of 245 free verse epitaphs in the form of monologues. They are spoken from beyond the grave by former residents of a sad and confined small town like the same Masters he had known during his childhood in Illinois. Speakers speak of their hopes and ambitions and of their bitter and unfulfilled lives. The realistic poems were controversial when they were first published, as they contradicted the popular view of small towns as repositories of moral virtue and respectability.

The Spoon River Anthology is a classic collection of poems by Edgar Lee Masters, with verses dedicated and named for members of a fictional small American town. Edgar Masters intention when he composed these verses was to demystify the culture of small town America. Over the decades prior to this anthology's publication in 1915, rural and urban cultures in the USA had diverged considerably: to many city-dwellers, how life in the country actually proceeded was simply unknown. Originally serialized in a magazine named Reedy's Mirror, each of the poems give the reader insight into the lives, events, and culture of a typical small country town. Each is titled after a specific character, and contains their thoughts and concerns at a given time. This acts to build a narrative around the small town, which is proven to be colorful and emotionally distinct place, with several characters coping with grief and loss.
