Hillbilly: A Cultural History Of An American Icon, Anthony Harkins
Hillbilly: A Cultural History Of An American Icon, Anthony Harkins
History Faculty Book Gallery
In this pioneering work of cultural history, historian Anthony Harkins argues that the hillbilly-in his various guises of "briar hopper," "brush ape," "ridge runner," and "white trash"-has been viewed by mainstream Americans simultaneously as a violent degenerate who threatens the modern order and as a keeper of traditional values of family, home, and physical production, and thus symbolic of a nostalgic past free of the problems of contemporary life. "Hillbilly" signifies both rugged individualism and stubborn backwardness, strong family and kin networks but also inbreeding and bloody feuds. Spanning film, literature, and the entire expanse of American popular culture, from …

Memories Of Warren, Charles East
Robert Penn Warren Studies
A distinguished editor and Southern man-of-letters recalls his early discovery of Robert Penn Warren, his first meeting with the poet-novelist, and his later attempts to persuade Warren to publish his verse play Proud Flesh, forerunner of the prize-winning novel All the King’s Men.
Understanding Whittier; Or, Warren In The Aftermath Of Modernism, Mark Royden Winchell
Understanding Whittier; Or, Warren In The Aftermath Of Modernism, Mark Royden Winchell
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Although the textbooks he edited with Cleanth Brooks virtually defined the New Criticism,Warren’s critical essays moved beyond close reading and frequently challenged the standards of high modernism when it came to assessing literary excellence. This was particularly true during the last three decades of his life, when his poetry also reflected a turn from strict modernism. His discovery ofWhittier’s poetry in the 1970s revealed new depth and unsuspected complexity in the work of that “fireside sentimentalist” and demonstrates how farWarrenwas prepared to go in fashioning a “newer” criticism.

The Associative Style In Warren And Ashbery, John Burt
The Associative Style In Warren And Ashbery, John Burt
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Robert Penn Warren and John Ashbery write out of different backgrounds and quite often appeal to different audiences, but each is a master of the "associative style." A comparative look at both poets is highly instructive and serves to deepen our appreciation of their art.
"Tough Talk In The Big Easy": Warrens Use Of History And Styron 'S The Confessions Of Nat Turner, John K. Crane
"Tough Talk In The Big Easy": Warrens Use Of History And Styron 'S The Confessions Of Nat Turner, John K. Crane
Robert Penn Warren Studies
On a 1968 panel, Robert Penn Warren, Ralph Ellison, and William Styron discussed the use of historical fact in fiction. The audience vociferously held Warren's use in All the King's Men more valid than Styron's in The Confessions of Nat Turner. Two analogies with recent films seem to support that contention.

From Gent To Gentil: Jed Tewksbury And The Function Of Literary Allusion In A Place To Come To, Bill Mccarron, Paul Knoke
Robert Penn Warren Studies
A Latin aficionado, medieval scholar, and college professor, protagonist Tewksbury struggles emotionally to sort through his often sordid past. In the process, his allusions to a French chante fable, Virgil's Aeneid, and Dante's Divine Comedy illuminate both his sinning and his awakening to the power of redemptive love.
“An Exciting Spiral”: Robert Penn Warren On Race And Community, Steven D. Ealy
“An Exciting Spiral”: Robert Penn Warren On Race And Community, Steven D. Ealy
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Warren's contribution to I'll Take My Stand, "The Briar Patch," has been the subject of controversy from its beginning when Donald Davidson tried to exclude it from the collection on the grounds that it was too progressive. Later in life, Warren distanced himself from it by characterizing it as a defense of segregation. However, a closer reading of "The Briar Patch" reveals that Warren set such a high standard for "separate but equal" that he ultimately undermines that doctrine and prepares the way for his re-examination in Segregation and Who Speaks for the Negro?

Working In The Theater With Robert Penn Warren, Aaron Frankel
Working In The Theater With Robert Penn Warren, Aaron Frankel
Robert Penn Warren Studies
A major figure in the making of the contemporary American theater reminisces about his collaborations with Robert Penn Warren, documenting their relationship with previously unpublished correspondence and suggesting that Warren, had he written more for the stage, might well have had a shaping influence on the evolution of modem drama.
From Fox To Hedgehog: Warrens All The King's Men As A Gloss On Tolstoys View Of History, Polly Detels
From Fox To Hedgehog: Warrens All The King's Men As A Gloss On Tolstoys View Of History, Polly Detels
Robert Penn Warren Studies
This essay explores Warren's All the King's Men as a figurative gloss on the discussion of human freedom and responsibility appearing in Leo Tolstoy's second epilogue to War and Peace. Isaiah Berlin's 1953 work on Tolstoy, The Fox and the Hedgehog, provides a theoretical framework for this analysis.

The Text Of The "Restored" Edition Of All The King's Men, Noel Polk
The Text Of The "Restored" Edition Of All The King's Men, Noel Polk
Robert Penn Warren Studies
All the King's Men appeared in 1946 in a text that had been changed in hundreds of ways by Harcourt editors; cumulatively these editorial interventions changed the novel in serious ways, mostly in changing the character of the narrator, Jack Burden, and his relationship to the events he narrates. The "restored" edition, published in 2001, indeed restores Warren's original text wherever it was possible, and so makes available a text much closer to what Warren had written initially. This essay offers a general explanation of the differences between the two versions of All the King's Men, a detailed listing of …
Le Silence Du Bonheur And The House Of Forgiveness: Space And Silence In Flood, Aimee Berger
Le Silence Du Bonheur And The House Of Forgiveness: Space And Silence In Flood, Aimee Berger
Robert Penn Warren Studies
Katrin Meise reformulates Wittgenstein's famous dictum-"What we cannot speak about, we must pass over in silence"-in a way that is particularly germane to a reading of Warren's novel Flood: ''What we pass over in silence, we must speak about." Warren establishes a complex aesthetic that incorporates silence into the circuit of discourse, forcing characters to confront the limitations of language, even as they realize the redemptive power of telling a "true" story.
Philosophers, Fools, And Kings: Notes On The Brothers Karamazov And All The King's Men, C. Jason Smith
Philosophers, Fools, And Kings: Notes On The Brothers Karamazov And All The King's Men, C. Jason Smith
Robert Penn Warren Studies
A comparative analysis of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brother's Karamazov (1879-80) and Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men (1946) based on the analysis of archetypal characters found in the work of both authors. The Philosophers, whose world-view is based in post-enlightenment reason, operate in a dialectical relationship with the Fools who interact with the world through faith. Culturally, the resolution of the dialectic between reason and faith yields the synthesis of the King who embodies reason and faith, the temporal and the eternal, in his position of god-given power. However, both Dostoyevsky and Warren actively reject the social imperative towards …
