Résumé
The Cords of Vanity by James Branch Cabell is the thirteenth installment in his Biography of the Life of Manuel series. Robert Etheridge Townsend is an arrogant young man from a prominent wealthy family (he is the great-grandson of Jurgen of Poictesme). As a teenager, he falls in love with Stella, beginning the first of many love affairs. Townsend's vanity allows him to proceed through these love affairs with disregard for the women who are the objects of his "affection." As the years pass, he begins to mature, but still struggles to overcome the need to avoid any situation that may cause him unpleasantness.
The Cords of Vanity was originally published in 1909, and was revised in 1920 (the edition on which this ebook is based) with an introduction by author Wilson Follett. Six of the chapters were originally published as short stories in the monthly literary magazine The Smart Set . James Branch Cabell (died 1958) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide.
As a work of classic literary fiction, The Cords Of Vanity exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
