Notes:

This work is a collection of nine "Prometheans" of literature, of whom Mr. Cabell is one. His contribution is a lengthy, untitled excerpt from a letter from to Rascoe dated August 10, 1919, discussing the evolution of Jurgen (pp. 283-286).

Burton Rascoe was, of course, the dedicatee of Jurgen.

Except for the verso of the title page, this edition is a photographic reprint of the 1933 first edtion, Hall A22.
