No other literary work from Illinois has ever had the radical impact of Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology, published in 1915. In Masters' 243 thinly veiled epitaph-poems, people from all walks of life come forward from their graves and share compelling stories of their hopes, dreams, tragedies, and joys, not to mention their advice and warnings to those still living.
