James Branch Cabell: Literary Life and Legacy

The Virginia Commonwealth University has just announced a major new resource for the promotion and study of the works of James Branch Cabell. This digital project has a wealth of material. The main link is here,  but it's worth reading the press release as well, here, from which I quote the two introductory paragraphs:

VCU Libraries has launched a digital hub focused on the literary work, impact and life of Richmond writer James Branch Cabell (1879-1958), who was the author of 52 works of fiction and nonfiction and is the namesake of Virginia Commonwealth University’s library on the Monroe Park Campus.

The site, James Branch Cabell: Literary Life and Legacy, aims to serve scholars, general readers and fans of Richmond and Virginia history. It includes sections on Cabell’s biography; his books, essays and short stories; scholarship and criticism; illustrations, adaptations and other art inspired by his work; and Cabell at VCU.

    Thanks, Doug! I might mention that thru the VCU site you can reach The Silver Stallion (a bibliography and fan site)where one can find pieces on the connections between Cabell and Arthur Machen...
