Edgar Lee Masters (1868–1950)
Autor de Antología de Spoon River
Sobre El Autor
Edgar Lee Masters, 1868 - 1950 The Kansas-born poet of "Spoon River Anthology" (written in 1915), Edgar Lee Masters, wrote almost 50 volumes but continues to be known for only that one, so great was its extraordinary success. Masters was born on August 23, 1868. His characters created for the mostrar más verses (which are short postmortem monologues in epitaph form) were borrowed from the old Greek Anthology. By invading the realm of social criticism usually reserved for prose fiction, "Spoon River" anticipated the mood of Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio" and Sinclair Lewis's "Main Street." Masters lived near Spoon River for 11 years; it was his source of inspiration for this work. The 244 characters in the Anthology lay bare, in their own epitaphs, the hypocrisies, jealousies, frustrations and infrequent triumphs of their lives. Masters is often regarded as the last bestselling American poet. "Spoon River" has been adapted into a popular stage version that is frequently performed at colleges, high schools, and community theater. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Reseñas
Antología de Spoon River por Edgar Lee Masters
Edgar Lee Masters, abogado de día, escritor de noche, de ideas liberales y anarquizantes, fue defensor de huelguistas, trabajadores y sindicatos. Preocupado por el ascenso imperialista de su país, evidencio la necesidad de un cambio cultural que introdujo claramente en su literatura." La Antología de Spoon River" , al igual que otros grandes libros de poesía, se puede leer como una novela; una novela de casi doscientos cincuenta personajes, todos" principales" , y con una trama donde hasta lo mas trivial resulta profundamente significativo y apasionante. Bajo su extraño titulo, es una antología de voces muertas, se esconde un microcosmos antologizado que describe el macrocosmos de un país entero y, quizás, de la vida en general.… (más)
