The Domesday Book is a historical novel written by Edgar Lee Masters. The book is set in 11th century England and is based on the real-life Domesday Book, a survey of land and property commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The novel follows the life of a young scribe named Gervas, who is tasked with compiling the Domesday Book. As he travels throughout England, Gervas encounters a variety of characters, including lords, peasants, and monks, and learns about the complex social and political structures of medieval England. Along the way, he also grapples with his own personal demons, including his love for a woman who is betrothed to another man. The Domesday Book is a richly detailed and immersive novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval England.1921.

He is best remembered for Spoon River Anthology, a series of poems about his boyhood experiences in western Illinois; the book that would make his reputation and become one of the most popular and widely known works in all of American literature.
