  • The Legacy of the Spoon River Author Between Illinois and Italy
    Article Forum Italicum 2019, Vol. 53(3) 679–698 ! The Author(s) 2019 Masters vs. Lee Masters: Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions The legacy of the Spoon DOI: 10.1177/0014585819854046 River author between journals.sagepub.com/home/foi Illinois and Italy Julianne VanWagenen Tsinghua University, China Abstract Edgar Lee Masters’ 1915 Spoon River Anthology has been one of the most popular books of foreign poetry in Italy since it was first translated and published there by Fernanda Pivano and Cesare Pavese in 1943. Yet, in the US, Masters is virtually unknown to the public; American scholars find him a problematic figure and his Spoon River only viable in piece- meal form. This article considers the translation and reception history of Spoon River in Italy as well as Masters’ publication and reception history in the US until his death in 1950, to bring to light the reasons for the poet’s differing legacies. It goes on to examine recent scholarly translations of Spoon River, as they at once engage with and neutralize critical American scholarship in order to secure Masters’ status in Italy. Finally, the article sug- gests a way forward for Italian scholarly work on Masters, which does not attempt to engage American criticism, but, rather, roots itself in the fraught Italian relationship with ‘‘agrarian’’ literature after the ventennio fascista and Mussolini’s rural rhetoric. Keywords American poetry, anti-Fascism, Fernanda Pivano, Spoon River, translation Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology was the best-selling book of poetry to date in the United States when it was first published in 1915 (Russell, 2001: 83).

  • Edgar Lee Masters - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Edgar Lee Masters - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Edgar Lee Masters(23 August 1868 – 5 March 1950) Born on August 23, 1868 to Emma J. Dexter and Hardin Wallace Masters in Garnett, Kansas, his father had briefly moved to set up a law practice. The family soon moved back to his paternal grandparents' farm near Petersburg in Menard County, Illinois. In 1880 they moved to Lewistown, Illinois, where he attended high school and had his first publication in the Chicago Daily News. 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. Spoon River was Masters's revenge on small-town hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness. It gained a huge popularity, but shattered his position as a respectable member of establishment. Masters attended The Knox Academy from 1889-1890, a defunct preparatory program run by Knox College, but was forced to leave due to his family's inability to finance his education. After working in his father's law office, he was admitted to the Illinois bar and moved to Chicago, where he established a law partnership with Kickham Scanlan in 1893. He married twice. In 1898, he married Helen M. Jenkins, the daughter of a lawyer in Chicago, and had three children. During his law partnership with Clarence Darrow, from 1903 to 1908, Masters defended the poor. In 1911, he started his own law firm, despite the three years of unrest (1908-1911) due to extramarital affairs and an argument with Darrow.
