James Branch Cabell was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. Cabell was well regarded by his contemporaries, including H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. His works were considered escapist and fit well in the culture of the 1920s, when his works were most popular. Interest in Cabell declined in the 1930s, a decline that has been attributed in part to his failure to move out of his fantasy niche.
