Summary "The Best of the World's Classics, Restricted to Prose, Vol. X (of X) - America" edited by Henry Cabot Lodge is a collection of notable American prose selections published in the early 20th century. This volume features works by celebrated authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Margaret Fuller, among others, and spans a range of themes and styles that reflect America's literary evolution during the 19th century. The anthology serves as a comprehensive overview of influential prose from significant American literary figures. At the start of this collection, the reader is introduced to the piece "Musings in Père Lachaise" by Longfellow, which encapsulates the somber yet reflective ambiance of the renowned Parisian cemetery. The author compares it to Westminster Abbey, invoking imagery of nature and art while highlighting the resting places of esteemed individuals. This introductory meditation sets the tone for exploring the deep connections between memory and legacy. Following this, the anthology shifts to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," a darkly intriguing tale that unfolds during the carnival season, where themes of friendship and betrayal are explored through a chilling plot twist. Overall, the opening portions of the anthology present both contemplative and engaging prose that invites readers into the diverse literary landscape of America from this pivotal period in history.
