Book Description

Publication Date: May 2005

For the purely reclamatory aspect of what he has done, his reward (so far as that can consist in anything save the doing) must come from insignificantly few directions; so few indeed that he, with a wrily humorous exaggeration, affects to believe them singular. The author of this novel has been pleased to describe the author of this introduction as "the only known purchaser of the book" and, further, as "the other person to own a CORDS OF VANITY".

5.0 out of 5 stars Chivalry, Gallantry & Poetry in a Relict Leisure Class, July 31, 2000

Robert Throckmorton (Las Vegas, Nevada USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cords of Vanity (The Collected Works of James Branch Cabell - 46 Volumes) (Library Binding)

Robert Etheridge Townsend, a young writer, recounts his twelve amatory encounters on his path to a conventional life style. Within his tales, he left an account of the behaviors of members of a relict leisure class in which ancestry, snobbery and pride of place were kept alive by infusions of wealth acquired through marriages of convenience.
