“Always The Truth, And Always The Lie”: Language As Symbol In Brother To Dragons, Allison Vanouse
“Always The Truth, And Always The Lie”: Language As Symbol In Brother To Dragons, Allison Vanouse
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Robert Penn Warren, in an introductory note to Brother to Dragons, writes that the poem is not ruled by action, but by its characters’ “inner urgencies ... the urgencies of argument.” He seems to be addressing something about the agency of language. In addressing the intoxicating puissance of argument itself, Warren activates a strange and uneasy space between words and the truths they try to describe. It is by navigating this space that he draws parallels between the voice of Thomas Jefferson — struggling with the unfulfilled legacy of his political writings — and the troubled role of the poet …

A Critical Look At Robert Penn Warren’S New (And Old) Criticism On Satire, Michael Sobiech
A Critical Look At Robert Penn Warren’S New (And Old) Criticism On Satire, Michael Sobiech
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Although a father of New Criticism, Warren did not always restrict his analysis of a text to the text itself. In his work with John Marston’s satires, Warren appears to go against what will become key attributes of New Critical theory. This essay explores Warren’s work with Marston’s satires, in particular examining his historicizing of the text, arguing for a more complicated view of Warren’s New Criticism.

Confessions Of A Footnoter, Paula Newman Miner, James A. Perkins
Confessions Of A Footnoter, Paula Newman Miner, James A. Perkins
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In his “confessions,” the Footnoter, one of the three editors of the Selected Letters of Robert Penn Warren, shares trade secrets, spins tales, and recounts anecdotes of success and failure in his attempts to bring understanding to metonymy, synecdoche, allusion, and suggestion as well as to identify individuals mentioned in the letters of Robert Penn Warren, particularly his attempt to discover the identity of the very skillful and amusing writer Paula Newman Miner and her attempt to remain an enigma wrapped in fog living quietly on Cape Cod with her husband and her Loenbergers.

Robert Penn Warren And Photography, Joseph Millichap
Robert Penn Warren And Photography, Joseph Millichap
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Robert Penn Warren’s career and canon demonstrate his more than casual interest in photography, much like those of several contemporaries in the Southern Renaissance. Warren’s 1972 essay about photographer Walker Evans recalls how photographs in the 1930s opened the emerging writer’s imagination to the power inherent in any art form to revise commonplace perceptions of social and subjective reality. Evans and many other photographers thus influenced Warren in his use of photographic tropes for an artistic transformation of the visual art of photography into the verbal art of literature. My close readings of recreated photographs in several major works of …
Robert Penn Warren’S Emblematic Imagination In All The King’S Men, Thomas J. Derrick
Robert Penn Warren’S Emblematic Imagination In All The King’S Men, Thomas J. Derrick
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Robert Penn Warren’s use of a static image with an explanatory motto has not been traced to its roots in Renaissance emblems. Warren’s coy responses to interviewers about the historical basis of the Huey Long story were balanced by admissions of the literary influence of Elizabethan and Italian culture. Realistic and imaginative events provided material for the author’s deep and slowly developed technique of a dynamic relationship between image and idea. Three phases of development are noticed in Warren’s fiction. His preliminary experiment was seen in the 1943 novel, At Heaven’s Gate; his intermediate development came in his 1950 novel, …
Twilight Of The Boss: All The King’S Men And Norse Mythology, Leverett Butts
Twilight Of The Boss: All The King’S Men And Norse Mythology, Leverett Butts
Robert Penn Warren Studies
This essay explores the deep connections between Warren’s third novel and Norse mythology, particularly the Ragnarok myth. By comparing characters, settings, and events in the novel with various figures from Norse mythology, as well as Richard Wagner’s operatic interpretation of the Ragnarok myth Ring of the Nibelung, this paper contends that Warren employs Norse myths that mirror his own themes of balance and acceptance that run throughout his novel.
The Windhover And Evening Hawk Shudder In Sync: Gerard Manley Hopkins And Robert Penn Warren, D.A. Carpenter
The Windhover And Evening Hawk Shudder In Sync: Gerard Manley Hopkins And Robert Penn Warren, D.A. Carpenter
Robert Penn Warren Studies
The author traces the philosophical and poetic similarities between Robert Penn Warren and Gerard Manley Hopkins. In doing so, he addresses the meditative process that Warren and Hopkins use in their work in order to demonstrate human connectedness to each other and nature in the form of what could be called a mystic unity. Integral to this meditative process is Hopkins’ idiosyncratic concepts of “inscape” and “instress,” which are defined and explored by the author while demonstrating how Warren’s work is in dialogue with these concepts, particularly in his 1968 collection of poems, Incarnations.

“Reckoning” With America’S Past: Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Joan Romano Shifflett
“Reckoning” With America’S Past: Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Joan Romano Shifflett
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Robert Penn Warren’s later poetry, specifically Rumor Verified and Altitudes and Extensions, deserves closer critical attention to the function served by the American past. Whether it is facing the bloody reality of westward expansion or acknowledging the alienation and dehumanization that results from the Industrial Revolution, Warren’s poems suggest a method of self-reflection that yields a fuller sense of American identity and, consequently, an awareness and knowledge of how to live in this modern world. A close study of the poetic techniques in “Going West” serves as a model for how Warren uses historical backdrops to employ his underlying philosophy …
A Mock Rhetoric: The Use Of Satire In First-Year Composition, Michael James Sobiech
A Mock Rhetoric: The Use Of Satire In First-Year Composition, Michael James Sobiech
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
On the eve of the Second World War, high school English teacher Leon Ormond writes about a minor skirmish he has with a history teacher over the pedagogical usefulness of wit. After telling her about his book, Laugh and Learn: The Art of Teaching with Humor, she tells him, “Only morons laugh.” Ormond goes on to describe her as one who exhibits “a countenance curiously reminiscent of an ancient Greek tragic mask”—she was “an exemplary member of the Cult of Pedagogic Pallbearers.” Although educators, historically, have often frowned upon humor, humorous writing—especially satirical writing—helps students understand the fundamentals of …

The Box, The Glittering Strings, And The Unbearable Hillbillyness Of Being: Warren’S The Cave, Country Music, And Vanderbilt Fugitive-Agrarianism, H.R. Stoneback
Robert Penn Warren Studies
The Fugitive magazine and the evolution of Nashville Agrarianism were exactly coincident and contiguous, geographically and historically, with the Grand Ole Opry and the evolution of hillbilly and country music, yet at Vanderbilt, it was something called traditional balladry or true folksong that was highly respected, and taught in courses in the English Department curriculum. It was from within these contexts that singer/songwriter and then graduate student, H. R. “Stoney” Stoneback, first wrote about Robert Penn Warren’s The Cave. Forty years later, singer/songwriter and now Distinguished Professor Stoneback revisits the question of the guitar, the songs, and the hillbillyness of …

Brooks And Warren In Heaven: A Short Story With Endnotes, James A. Perkins

A personal and professional friendship “made in heaven” continues there. What passions persist? How do these two old friends pass the timelessness? And how do you cite a visit to heaven?
