Excerpt from A Bibliographic Check-List of the Works of James Branch Cabell, 1904-1921

In re the queston you ask about the connecting theme of my books, the most obvious connection is, of course, the fact that they constitute a largish family tree. This genealogy I began to trace out as far back as 1902, when I wrote the first of the stories afterward bound up together in The Line of Love. And the general method followed in that Volume - of depicting a decisive passage in the lives of two persons, then a simi lar untying of knots in the life of a child of that couple, and yet afterward in one of the grandchildren's life-history, - has been extended, but never altered in my other volumes. The most plain connec tion of my various books is, thus, almost precisely the same connection that exists among the several stories in The Line of Love.
