Summary

In "Joseph Hergesheimer, an Essay in Interpretation," James Branch Cabell navigates the intricate tapestry of Hergesheimer's literary landscape, exploring the defining themes and stylistic flourishes that characterize his work. Employing a blend of critical analysis and lyrical prose, Cabell delves into the nuanced portrayals of American life and identity that Hergesheimer famously captured. His examination reveals not only the author's narrative techniques and aesthetic sensibilities but also situates Hergesheimer within the broader context of early 20th-century American literature, highlighting the interplay of realism and romanticism that pervades his narratives. James Branch Cabell, an influential figure in the early 1900s literary scene, was well-acquainted with the complexities of modernity which permeated Hergesheimer's oeuvre. As a contemporary and admirer of Hergesheimer's work, Cabell's own experiences and extensive literary background enriched his interpretations, allowing for an insightful discussion on the evolution of American storytelling. His critical engagement with Hergesheimer serves as a reflection not only of admiration but also of Cabell's commitment to elevating American literature through rigorous analysis. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of literary criticism, this essay offers a profound investigation into Hergesheimer's artistic vision through the lens of a keen observer. Cabell's work not only enhances our appreciation of Hergesheimer's contributions but also invites readers to reflect on the broader implications of American literature during a transformative era. It is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of early modern American fiction.

    The decline of the West, which at first sight may appear, like the corresponding decline of the Classical Culture, a phenomenon limited in time and space, we now perceive to be a philosophical problem that, when comprehended in all its gravity, includes within itself every great question of Being. 
"If therefore we are to discover in what form the destiny of the Western Culture will be accomplished, we must first be clear as to what culture is, what its relations are to visible history, to life, to soul, to nature, to intellect, what the forms of its manifestation are and how far these forms — peoples, tongues and epochs, battles and ideas, states and gods, arts and craftworks, sciences, laws, economic types and world ideas, great men and great events — may be accepted and pointed to as symbols."
