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 …

Rpw, Sibelius, And The Dream, Marshall Walker
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In All the King’s Men Jack Burden says, “I eat a persimmon and the teeth of a tinker in Tibet are put on edge,” but what could link a Finnish composer to a writer, forty years younger, from the American South? “The creations of American literature generally are no doubt more given to the speculative, − less given to the realistic, − than are those of English literature,” says Anthony Trollope in his essay, “The Genius of Nathaniel Hawthorne.” “On our side of the water we deal more with beef and ale, and less with dreams.” Both Sibelius and Warren …

Recreating Faulkner: Cleanth Brooks’ Use Of Faulkner As New Critical Exemplar, Dana W. Mcmichael
Recreating Faulkner: Cleanth Brooks’ Use Of Faulkner As New Critical Exemplar, Dana W. Mcmichael
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Cleanth Brooks’ emphasis on textual structure helped move Faulkner criticism in new directions. Though early reviews and critical treatments of William Faulkner’s works frequently speculated on his literary intentions, combed his words for various ideologies, or sought a Jamesian realism, Brooks’ earliest studies of Faulkner insisted that his novels and stories be appreciated for their mastery of form. Although Brooks’ later studies have received much of the attention they deserve, his earliest essays on Faulkner have been largely neglected. Cumulatively, Brooks’ many articles and book-length studies of Faulkner’s fiction seek to repackage him as a Modernist writer whose works are …

An “Unreligious” Affair: (Re)Reading The American Civil War In Foote’S Shiloh And Warren’S Wilderness, Kyle Crews
An “Unreligious” Affair: (Re)Reading The American Civil War In Foote’S Shiloh And Warren’S Wilderness, Kyle Crews
Robert Penn Warren Studies
A comparative analysis of Robert Penn Warren’s Wilderness and Shelby Foote’s Shiloh reveals a similar historiography that both writers apply to the American Civil War. From a narratological standpoint, the novels are very different; however, the underlying theme is the same: the Civil War is an “unreligious” episode in an often oversimplified period in American history.
Breathing New Life Into Warren Studies: A Project In Secondary Education, Wes Berry, Kristina Rice, Angela Sloan
Breathing New Life Into Warren Studies: A Project In Secondary Education, Wes Berry, Kristina Rice, Angela Sloan
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In his introduction to this pedagogy project, Wes Berry ponders how teaching Robert Penn Warren’s work in high schools could help to promote Warren’s overall literary status. The following essays outline efforts to teach Warren’s fiction in two Kentucky high schools. In spring 2007, Angela Sloan taught Warren’s All the King’s Men and The Cave to A.P. English students using a comparative, intertextual approach. She details the successes of her class and includes students’ responses to their study of Warren. Furthermore, Kristina Rice presents creative approaches to making Warren’s stories accessible to high school students, including comparative thematic studies that …
