{"product_id":"spoon-river-anthology-9780486272757","title":"Spoon River Anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSpoon River Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e, the American poet Edgar Lee Masters (1869-1950) created a series of compelling free-verse monologues in which former citizens of a mythical Midwestern town speak touchingly from the grave of the thwarted hopes and dream of their lives. First published in book form in 1915, the \u003ci\u003eAnthology\u003c\/i\u003e was the crowning achievement of Masters' career as a poet, and a work that would become a landmark of 20th-century American literature. \u003cbr\u003eIn these pages, no less than 214 individual voices are heard -- some in no more than a dozen moving lines. Alternately plaintive, anguished, enigmatic, angry, and contemptuous, the voices of Spoon River, although distinctively small-town Americans, evoke themes of love and hope, disappointment and despair that are universal in their resonance. This American classic is reprinted here from the authoritative 1915 edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486272757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.21w x 0.40d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edgar Lee Masters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637708517532,"sku":"9780486272757","price":10.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_65d8b409-772d-42e5-9c95-0b5527878972.jpg?v=1603845488","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/spoon-river-anthology-9780486272757","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
