Would I be being redundant if I started a "James Branch Cabell in Anthologies" thread? Has this aspect of JBCs bibliography already been thoroughly covered here?

I was doing some rummaging around in storage the last couple days and, in doing so, pulled out from a box an old battered copy of The American Twenties: A Literary Panorama, circa 1952. A six page excerpt from Jurgen is included.

I vaguely recall anthologised excerpts being touched on in various threads, but don't recall a dedicated thread. Of course, the Silver Stallion (website) would have a trove of related info.

I did not read any Cabell or Cabellania in 2016, and aim to remedy that in 2017. Not sure just what title, however.

I've also acquired (thanks to another LTer) a copy of an Anatole France novel, someone to which JBC was oft compared, and so I might start there by way of triangulation.

On The Silver Stallion site, see here:

This is far from complete. For instance EF's new discovery was not listed.

Many of the as-yet-unlisted (on SS) entries can be found on JBC's LT author page halfway down the page under "Also By..."

There we find familiar anthology appearances such as those in Tales Before Tolkien (The Thin Queen of Elfhame)
The Fantastic Imagination (The Music from Behind the Moon)
The Young Magicians (The Way of Ecben)
Realms of Wizardry (Some Ladies and Jurgen)
Phantasmagoria (An Amateur Ghost)
and others...
