James Branch Cabell publicó Jurgen en 1919. Se la considera un hito temprano de la sátira fantástica, así como modelo de inspiración de autores como Jack Vance y Fritz Leiber. Ambientada en el país imaginario de Poictesme, situado en el sur de Francia, es la más famosa de las venticinco novelas que publicó Cabell de su “Biografía del conde don Manuel”.
