The Hill from The Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters "The Hill" is the first selection in Masters' Spoon River Anthology. The original work was published as a serialized version in 1914-15. In the Anthology, the dead in an Illinois graveyard relay, in matter-of-fact but haunting tones, details from their lives. The Anthology was original, provocative and influentual. Its literary significance has been compared with Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass [published in 1855]. Masters wove a thread of partial reality throughout the Anthology. Many of the characters and their experiences can be identified with former residents of Lewistown and Petersburg, Illinois. Masters' used his childhood experiences in these two communities, as a basis for the poems. The Hill Where are Elmer, Herman, Bert, Tom and Charley, The weak of will, the strong of arm, the clown, the boozer, the fighter? All, all are sleeping on the hill. One passed in a fever, One was burned in a mine, One was killed in a brawl, One died in a jail

It is served by Illinois routes 24 and 97 and is within 14 miles of Spoon River College and Canton. Lewistown was founded in 1821 by Ossian Ross and named for his son. In 1823, Lewistown became the county seat of the newly created Fulton County, which at that time extended to the Wisconsin border. The records of the first marriage performed in Chicago, that of Ellen Kinzie to Indian Agent Dr. Alexander Wolcott in 1823, were filed in the Lewistown Courthouse.

History Literature Essays Platforms ... Discussion Search Women's History Month Resources Anti-Imperialist Writings by Edgar Lee Masters By Jim Zwick Photograph of Edgar Lee Masters A lthough he began his career as a lawyer, Edgar Lee Masters (1869-1950) is well-known today as a poet, his Spoon River Anthology still appreciated by many. Unlike most of the anti-imperialists, Masters opposed the Spanish-American War. "I had read enough in the papers to know that war was avoidable," he wrote in his autobiography, Across Spoon River (1936), "and I resolved to have nothing to do with it." He was roused to action by the annexation of the Philippines and the beginning of the new war there. He threw himself into studying the history of the Constitution and the United States' republican form of government, and within the next few years wrote a play, Maximilian (1902), a volume of poetry, and a series of essays on imperialism. During the 1900 presidential campaign, he wrote numerous essays and speeches opposing imperialism and supporting the campaign of William Jennings Bryan , the anti-imperialist Democratic candidate. In October of 1900

Edgar Lee Masters L'epitaffio di Thanatos " All'autore di un solo libro " I primi contatti con la morte Nel 1878 muore all'età di 5 anni suo fratello Alexander, a causa della difterite. L'anno successivo muore anche il suo migliore amico, Mitch Miller. Vicino alla morte Nel gennaio del 1915 si ammala gravemente di polmonite. E' stato definito come - " L'autore di un solo libro " (anche se in realtà ha scritto altre cose, sicuramente di minore importanza) - " Il cantore della morte " - " Il Dante americano " Lo scrittore e critico inglese John Cowper Powys lo definisce " Il figlio naturale di Whitman ". Ezra Pound, dalle pagine dell'inglese "Egoist" tuonò: " At last! At last America has discovered a poet " (Finalmente! Finalmente l'America ha trovato un vero poeta!). Spoon River è stata definita " La commedia umana degli Stati Uniti ".

In 1915, Edgar Lee Masters published The Spoon River Anthology, a book of 244 poems spoken by the deceased residents of Spoon River (a rural area in Illinois) from their graves on "the hill". The book created a stir because many of the supposedly fictional speakers were recognizable as real people. The poems are remarkable for the breadth of personalities and the honesty with which they speak. All the poems were written in free verse, which puts them outside the scope of this "formalist" anthology. Nonetheless, I include some here because they are moving and haunting. These poems are food for my spirit like no other. I recommend this book more strongly than any other book of poetry. – Editor The Hill Minerva Jones Doc Hill Sarah Brown ... Lucinda Matlock
