- Most of Cabell's books [...] constitute what he calls "the Biography of the life of Manuel, one single, one continuous, and one indivisible book." [...] Cabell writes chiefly of an imaginary - yet perfectly imagined - medieval country named Poictesme. It is somewhere in Europe, not distant from Provence, yet near to Scotland; it is a land with a seacoast, mountains, and dark woods.WR Parker, "A Key to Cabell" (1932), p. 433 (English, Unclassified)
