A propos de cet article

Octavo, green cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 231 pp. Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: Allen Tate: A Literary Biography, is the first biographical treatment of the distinguished career of a writer who is truly a "Man of Letters." The pitfalls of writing about a living contemporary are many, but Radcliffe Squires has avoided them all and written a biography that is both lucid and far-reaching, respectful and honest. Squires begins with "The Early Years." Tate's family background and strong Southern ties; his sporadic early schooling, and unsuccessful attempt to become a violinist; and his studies at Vanderbilt University, which eventually led him to literature and a writing career. As a member of the Fugitive Group at Vanderbilt, Tate formed lasting friendships with John Crowe Ransom, Robert Penn Warren, and several others. A short free-lance career in New York and a year abroad on a Guggenheim fellowship broadened Tate's awareness and expanded his circle of friends to include such writers as Hart Crane, T.S. Eliot, and Ernest Hemingway. Tate eventually settled in the South and was active in the Southern Agrarian Movement of the Thirties. His editorship of The Sewanee Review, from 1944 to 1946, made that magazine an important cultural journal. Because he has been unable to lie to us about victory, (Tate's) poems have never been very popular, writes Squires. For popular poetry is the kind that encourages people who are not poets to believe that they are." However, Squire shows how, by pursuing a vision that rises above the modern fragmentation of thought and feeling, Tate became one of the masters of the modernist period in poetry, and was awarded the Bollingen Prize in Poetry in 1956. In addition, Tate's talents as critic, novelist, biographyer, and editor are discussed fully, with intelligence and sensativity.
