VACHEL LINDSAY A POET IN AMERICA 1935 First Ed. Edgar Lee Masters Springfield IL

Description: For Sale: Title: Vachel Lindsay: A Poet in America Author: Edgar Lee Masters Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1935, 392 pp., 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", First edition Description: "When the friends and admirers of Vachel Lindsay first suggested that I was the one to write his biography and appraise his work, I was reluctant to undertake the task, both because I had other work on hand, and of an absorbing kind, and because I did not at once perceive that anything more than a factual chronicle could be made of his life. His poems, accessible to every one, seemed his own revelation and an all sufficient record of what he had lived and felt. However, when Mrs. Vachel Lindsay asked me to write the life of her husband, and when her letters on the subject disclosed such a wealth of material bearing upon the art of poetry, and upon the period of American life in which Vachel Lindsay lived and wrought, the subject took on an aspect so appealing that I felt that could not decline the responsibility."
