Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Jurgen - A Comedy of Justice by James Branch Cabell The 1926 edition of Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice by James Branch Cabell, published by Robert M. McBride & Company in New York, is recognized as the revised and definitive version of the novel. While the book was first published in 1919 and gained notoriety following an obscenity trial that concluded in 1922, the 1926 text incorporates Cabell's final revisions and is often considered the authoritative text for the work. This edition typically appears as a hardcover with approximately 368 pages. It solidifies the book's status as a landmark in comic fantasy, influencing later authors such as Terry Pratchett. The narrative follows Jurgen, a middle-aged pawnbroker in the imaginary land of Poictesme, who embarks on a picaresque journey through mythological realms, including Heaven and Hell, after his wife is abducted by supernatural forces. This copy is in very good condition with little wear on the cover or pages. It does not have a dust jacket and therefore is set at a lower price. It is very solid and the pages turn easily, and are firmly attached to the spine. See photos. Frank C. Papé (illustrator).…
