Cass Mastern, Josiah Royce, And The Envelope Of Responsibility, Joseph Wensink
Cass Mastern, Josiah Royce, And The Envelope Of Responsibility, Joseph Wensink
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In Warren’s All the King’s Men, Jack’s ultimate reconciliation does not come, as most readers see it, from learning to accept full responsibility for his actions where he formerly had none, but rather from his ability to define for himself, through his historical researches and creation of iconic “images,” a clear picture of the boundaries of his responsibility—its burdens as well as its limits. This envelope of responsibility is for Warren thoroughly historical—and envelope whose contours change through time, crucially dependent upon the narration of past events in the present. Jack’s “brass-bound idealism” is, despite his sarcasm, a quite sophisticated …

The Editing Of Jack Burden, Nathan Snow
The Editing Of Jack Burden, Nathan Snow
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In comparing Jack Burden as narrator in the 1946 version of All the King’s Men to Jack Burden as narrator in Noel Polk’s 2001 Restored Edition of the novel, the originally published Jack Burden emerges as the better narrator, and the 1946 version is the better for it. Warren’s original editor, Lambert Davis, deserves some of the credit for this improvement.
Narrator Myopia In “Goodwood Comes Back”, Bill Mccarron, Paul Knoke
Narrator Myopia In “Goodwood Comes Back”, Bill Mccarron, Paul Knoke
Robert Penn Warren Studies
In “Goodwood Comes Back,” Warren creates an emotionally myopic narrator whose inability to see Goodwood for who he really is ironically points to the fact that, however short-lived, Goodwood’s personal comeback has been as triumphant as his foray into baseball. The contrast between Goodwood’s intimate knowledge of baseball and the narrator’s ignorance of the game sets the narrator up as a foil to Goodwood. His limitations only serve to highlight Goodwood’s accomplishments.

Observations On Robert Penn Warren’S “The Day Dr. Knox Did It”, James A. Perkins
Observations On Robert Penn Warren’S “The Day Dr. Knox Did It”, James A. Perkins
Robert Penn Warren Studies
“The Day Dr. Knox Did It” may be read as Warren’s artistic response to the suicide of Ernest Hemingway. The poem repeats an important motif from Warren’s second, unpublished and untitled novel, written in the 1930’s. It also contains some interesting correspondences—and equally important contrasts—to the work of Ernest Hemingway, especially the short story “Indian Camp.”
“The Deepest And Widest Metaphor For Life” Re-Visions Of Christian Faith In Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Nicole Camastra
“The Deepest And Widest Metaphor For Life” Re-Visions Of Christian Faith In Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Nicole Camastra
Robert Penn Warren Studies
While it would be foolish to assert that Warren was a committed Christian and unequivocal believer, a kind of tempered faith does exist in some of Warren’s poems from Now and Then: Poems 1976-1978. Manuscript revisions of “Amazing Grace in the Back Country” and “Heart of the Backlog” reveal Warren’s struggle to find faith, not his conviction of living in it. However, “Heart of Autumn,” the final poem in the volume, points to the conscious act of surrendering to the depth of theistic conflict in its preceding counterparts.
Raised In The Briar Patch: Misreading Warren’S Essay On Race, Leverett Butts
Raised In The Briar Patch: Misreading Warren’S Essay On Race, Leverett Butts
Robert Penn Warren Studies
As human beings, we are prone to all sorts of misreadings: of literary works, of others, of ourselves. This scholarly and personal visit to “The Briar Patch” reveals a younger Warren subtly, perhaps even unconsciously, advocating integration in a world that in the 1920’s was not (and some might say still isn’t) ready to accept full equality.
