NOTES

Written in "polyphonic prose, a freely rhythmical form of prose that employs characteristic devices of verse other than strict metre...The form was developed in the early 20th century by Amy Lowell, who demonstrated its techniques in her book Can Grande’s Castle (1918)." [Britannica];

William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943) was an American author, critic and scholar. He taught the first American university course on the modern novel. [wikipedia]
