Figures of Earth is, with some superficial air of paradox, the one volume in the long Biography of Dom Manuel's life which deals with Dom Manuel himself. Most of the matter strictly appropriate to a Preface you may find, if you so elect, in the Foreword addressed to Sinclair Lewis. And, in fact, after writing two prefaces to this "Figures of Earth"—first, in this epistle to Lewis, and, secondly, in the remarks 1 affixed to the illustrated edition,—I had thought this volume could very well continue to survive as long as its deficiencies permit, without the confection of a third preface, until I began a little more carefully to consider this romance, in the seventh year of its existence.But now, now, the deficiency which I note in chief (like the superior officer of a disastrously wrecked crew) lies in the fact that what I had meant to be the main "point" of "Figures of Earth," while explicitly enough stated in the book, remains for every practical end indiscernible.... For I have written many books during the last quarter of a century. Yet this is the only one of them which began at one plainly recognizable instant with one plainly recognizable imagining. It is the only book by me which ever, virtually, came into being, with its goal set, and with its theme and its contents more or less pre-determined throughout, between two ticks of the clock.

James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. He worked from 1898 to 1900 as a newpaper reporter in New York City, but returned to Richmond in 1901, where he worked several months on the staff of the Richmond News. In 1902, seven of his first stories appeared in national magazines and over the next decade he wrote many short stories and articles, contributing to nationally published magazines including Harper's Monthly Magazine and the Saturday Evening Post, as well as carrying out extensive research on his family's genealogy. In the early 1920s he became the leader of a group of writers known as The James Branch Cabell School, which included such figures as H. L. Mencken, Carl Van Vechten and Elinor Wylie. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1937. Amongst his best known works are: The Eagle's Shadow (1904), The Cords of Vanity: A Comedy of Shirking (1909), and The Rivet in Grandfather's Neck: A Comedy of Limitations (1915).

An excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Volume 86, 1921: IF he were nothing else, James Branch Cabell would yet remain the most intriguing figure in contemporary letters. He is unique and apart from the back-wash of modern fiction. So that to his sternest detractor the advent of a new work of his pen is an occasion to be heeded. Particularly when that work is a tale of the Poictesme that is his chosen domain. It has been contended against Mr. Cabell that his work is a patch-work of older writers, that "Jurgen" is a medley of Voltaire, Rabelais, and Anatole France, seasoned with the spicy whimsies of Renaissance Minstrels. All this is, as so much criticism, at once quite true and a little absurd. "Jurgen"-equally with "Domnei," "The Line of Love," "The Certain Hour," "The Cream of the Jest," "Chivalry," "Gallantry," and "Figures of Earth,"-is built of the fragments of many master books. But all of these are equally and distinctly Mr. Cabell's own, with an originality as striking as their beauty. Originality in art is not a matter of material but of its arrangement. The artist has borrowed from all sides, and has mastered his borrowings so that they have become his own. "Figures of Earth" is the finest example of literary art that has come into our hands for a long time. ... The Cabellian irony is there, the rapier-thrust of his wit, the disturbing mysticism of his philosophy... ...In itself, this is a notable work, a gripping tale, full of the fragrance of a romantic past, a flawless piece of artistic workmanship, the well-nigh perfect expression of a great writer.
