Footnotes [1] “James Branch Cabell is making a clean getaway with _Jurgen_, quite the naughtiest book since George Moore began ogling maidservants in Mayo. How come? Dreiser had the law hot after him for _The Genius_ and _Hager Revelly_ came close to landing Daniel Carson Goodman in Leavenworth, yet these volumes are innocent compared with _Jurgen_, which deftly and knowingly treats in thinly veiled episodes of all the perversities, abnormalities and damn-foolishness of sex. There is an undercurrent of extreme sensuality throughout the book, and once the trick of transposing the key is mastered one can dip into this tepid stream on every page. Cabell has cleansed his bosom of much perilous stuff--a little too much, in fact, for _Jurgen_ grows tiresome toward the end--but he has said everything about the mechanics of passion and said it prettily. He has a gift of dulcet English prose, but I like better the men who say things straight out and use gruff Anglo-Saxon monosyllables for the big facts of nature that we are supposed to ignore.
