James Branch Cabell and Richmond-in-Virginia Hardcover Edgar MacD
01 Dec, 2021
Comprehensively informative and a jolly good read!
This Biography of James Branch Cabell and Richmond-in-Virginia is thorough, well researched, well written, comprehensive and compelling. The author, Edgar McDonald, knows his stuff and even met Cabell. He quite rightly derides the 'psychically wounded' religious people who said Cabell's Down's syndrome son Ballard was a "judgement of God" and laughs to scorn the deluded has-beens who uphold the right-wing, fascist, anti-black sentiments of the Old South.
MacDonald highlights the deeply spiritual and revolutionary nature of Cabell's writings, denying altogether the popular notion that he was a cynical dilettante who merely wrote clever satire and promulgating the idea that he was ahead of his time in his theory of human betterment through successive re-incarnations, while at the same time indulging his gift for biting criticism of his fellow men, seasoned with a razor-sharp wit and an acute sense of society's idiocies and shortcomings.
In short, this is an excellent tome and a welcome addition to one's appreciation of an unfairly neglected and important writer of genius.

Brilliant film - superb actors - good script.
An excellent film about the vile brutality of the Royal Navy.

Brilliant!
An excellent performance of a harrowing opera, showing the nature and conflict of good and evil and the brutality and injustice of the Royal Navy in Napoleonic times. Brilliant music! Almost unbearable drama!
