"The Rivet in Grandfather's Neck" is a thought-provoking novel written by James Branch Cabell. Set in Cabell's fictional Virginia county of "Poictesme," the book delves into the complex themes of identity and family heritage, and also the burden of inherited legacy. The story revolves around John Charteris, one of the young man haunted by the weight of his ancestry. As a descendant of esteemed ancestors, John grapples with the expectations and other one reputations that precede him. Cabell artfully weaves together elements of the fantastic and the mundane, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Through a series of interwoven narratives, Cabell explores the concept of "the rivet in Grandfather's neck," a metaphorical link that binds John to the past and restricts his pursuit of personal freedom. The novel delves into John's introspective journey as he seeks to define his own identity amidst the shadow of his ancestors. Cabell's poetic prose and introspective storytelling create a rich tapestry of philosophical reflections and psychological depth. "The Rivet in Grandfather's Neck" is celebrated for its exploration of the complexities of human nature, the search for self-actualization, and the intricacies of familial bonds. This profound and allegorical work is a poignant reflection on the timeless struggle between tradition and individuality, cementing James Branch Cabell's reputation as a masterful writer of speculative fiction and a profound observer of the human condition.

"[...] PART ONE - PROPINQUITY "A singer, eh'... Well, well! but when he sings Take jealous heed lest idiosyncrasies Entinge and taint too deep his melodies; See that his lute has no discordant strings To harrow us; and let his vaporings Be all of virtue and its victories, And of man's best and noblest qualities, And scenery, and flowers, and similar things.[...]".

The Rivet in Grandfather’s Neck (1921) is a comic romance novel by James Branch Cabell. Set in a world where history and fantasy collide, where the laws of chivalry and honor continue to hold sway in postbellum South, The Rivet in Grandfather’s Neck is included in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel. “For Colonel Musgrave was by birth the lineal head of all the Musgraves of Matocton, which is in Lichfield, as degrees are counted there, equivalent to what being born a marquis would mean in England. Handsome and trim and affable, he defied chronology by looking ten years younger than he was known to be.” A man of honor and tradition, Colonel Musgrave comes from a prominent family whose wealth and power once depended on its ownership of slaves. Despite his illustrious title, “won by four years of arduous service at receptions and parades while on the staff of a former Governor of the State,” Musgrave is a librarian whose influence in town depends largely on the esteem of his ancestors. When a distant cousin visits Lichfield, bringing with her the intellect and wit of a modern woman, Colonel Musgrave finds how easily traditions can falter. Set in a fictionalized Southern town, The Rivet in Grandfather’s Neck is a captivating, hilarious tale of chivalry and romance. Cabell’s work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read The Rivet in Grandfather’s Neck, however, is to understand that the issues therein—the struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and women—were vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of James Branch Cabell’s The Rivet in Grandfather’s Neck is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.

Excerpt from The Rivet in Grandfather's Neck: A Comedy of Limitations To Priscilla Bradley Cabell "Nightly I mark and praise, or great or small, Such stars as proudly struggle one by one To heaven's highest place, as Procyon, Antares, Naos, Tejat and Nibal Attain supremacy, and proudly fall, Still glorious, and glitter, and are gone So very soon; - whilst steadfast and alone Polaris gleams, and is not changed at all. "Daily I find some gallant dream that ranges The heights of heaven; and as others do, I serve my dream until my dream estranges Its errant bondage, and I note anew That nothing dims, nor shakes, nor mars, nor changes, Fond faith in you and in my love of you."

In the middle of the cupboard door was the carved figure of a man.... He had goat's legs, little horns on his head, and a long beard; the children in the room called him, "Major-General-field-sergeant -commander-Billy-goat's-legs" ... He was always looking at the table under the looking-glass where stood a very pretty little shepherdess made of china.... Close by her side stood a little chimney-sweep, as black as coal and also made of china.... Near to them stood another figure.... He was an old Chinaman who could nod his head, and used to pretend he was the grandfather of the shepherdess, although he could not prove it. He, however, assumed authority over her, and therefore when "Major-general-field-sergeant-commander-Billy-goat's -legs" asked for the little shepherdess to be his wife, he nodded his head to show that he consented. Then the little shepherdess cried, and looked at her sweetheart, the chimney-sweep. "I must entreat you," said she, "to go out with me into the wide world, for we cannot stay here." ... When the chimney-sweep saw that she was quite firm, he said, "My way is through the stove up the chimney." ... So at last they reached the top of the chimney.... The sky with all its stars was over their heads....
