Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950) was an American attorney, poet, biographer, and dramatist. He is the author of Spoon River Anthology, The New Star Chamber and Other Essays, Songs and Satires, The Great Valley, The Serpent in the Wilderness, An Obscure Tale, The Spleen, Mark Twain: A Portrait, Lincoln: The Man, and Illinois Poems. In all, Masters published twelve plays, twenty-one books of poetry, six novels and six biographies, including those of Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Vachel Lindsay, and Walt Whitman. The culture around Lewistown, in addition to the town's cemetery at Oak Hill, and the nearby Spoon River were the inspirations for many of his works, most notably Spoon River Anthology, his most famous and acclaimed work. It gained a huge popularity, but shattered his position as a respectable member of establishment.

Ett av det amerikanska 1900-talets stora poetiska verkI Spoon River talar de döda från graven - om sig själva och varandra, om hur de levt sina liv och om de sätt på vilka livet slutat. Edgar Lee Masters poetiska antologi över liv och död i en fiktiv småstad rymmer över tvåhundra självbiografiska gravskrifter på fri vers. Här talar röster som annars inte har kommit till tals - eller tvingats tala omannat - om svek och förluster, sorger och önskningar, samhälle och gemenskap, eller brist på gemenskap. Trådar löper genom gravarna, nya förbindelser uppstår när invånarna själva skriver sina runor. En annan historia än den officiella blir synlig i skuggorna. Spoon River möttes med lovord i pressen när den utkom 1915. Ezra Pound skrev i sin recension att Amerika till sist funnit »en verklig poet«. I svensk översättning av Thomas Warburton, med ett nyskrivet förord av Erik Bergqvist, poet och kritiker. EDGAR LEE MASTERS [1868-1950] var en amerikansk poet och författare, uppvuxen i Lewistown, Illinois. 1892 flyttade han till Chicago, där han under några år arbetade som advokat.

Tracing the troubled roots of American capitalism and imperialism Coedited by noted Masters scholar, Jason Stacy, and his class, “Editing History,” this annotated edition of Edgar Lee Masters’s The New Star Chamber and Other Essays reappears at a perilous time in US history, when large corporations and overseas conflicts once again threaten the integrity of American rights and liberties, and the United States still finds itself beholden to corporate power and the legacy of imperial hubris. In speaking to his times, Masters also speaks to ours. These thirteen essays lay bare the political ideology that informed Spoon River Anthology. Masters argues that the dangerous imperialism championed by then-President Theodore Roosevelt was rooted in the Constitution itself. By debating the ethics of the Philippine-American War, criticizing Hamiltonian centralization of government, and extolling the virtues of Jeffersonian individualism, Masters elucidates the ways in which America had strayed from its constitutional morals and from democracy itself. The result is a compelling critique of corporate capitalism and burgeoning American imperialism, as well as an exemplary source for understanding its complicated author in the midst of his transformation from urban lawyer to poet of rural America. In print again for the first time since 1904, this edition includes an introduction and historical annotations throughout. Edited and annotated by students at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and designed and illustrated by students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, this volume traces economic and political pathologies to the origins of the American republic. The New Star Chamber and Other Essays is as vital now as it was over 100 years ago.
