Description:
Here is a novel in the tradition of the troubadours, of the Romaunt de la Rose and the Chansons de Geste-of the days when "by way of diversion, gentlemen hunted and fished and rode a-hawking and amicably slashed and battered one another in tournaments: but their really serious pursuit was love-making."
It is the story of Jurgen, who was a monstrous clever fellow, and yet willing, nevertheless, to taste any drink once-of a middle-aged pawnbroker, who regains for a period his lost youth to wander in Poictesme and Cocaigne, Leuke and Glathion, Heaven and Hell. In most of these places he meets a variety of the world’s fairest women-Guenevere and Helen, Anaïtis of Cocaigne and Dolores of Philistia, Chloris the Hamadryad and Florimel the vampire and even Mrs. Satan-and deals fairly with them all after his own manner. Here is a gallimaufry of parables, from Apis to the Round Table, by way of Russian skazki and the English Bible and Greek nature myths. Even Jurgen himself becomes a solar legend, in his own lifetime, and is forced by the philologists to abandon Cocaigne to follow the Equinox.
Cabell is a romanticist, but he is also a realist, a transcendentalist who yet knows a great deal about the earth he stands on. He looks for faith and meaning, like Jurgen, but like Jurgen he is too sober and honest a man to accept the faiths and visions offered him. It is because he is a realist and a satirist primarily, because he sees the canker in the rose, rather than for any pornographic meaning the "Tumble-Bugs" managed to read into his words, that he has been persecuted and "Jurgen" prosecuted. For fundamentally, as Guy Plolt said, "Jurgen’s" "only offense was that it embodied a plea for monogamy presented in the only convincing words." "But where," asked H. L. Mencken, "is there another book so beautifully contrived, so genuinely a masterpiece? It will, I believe, long outlast its day."
