“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 …

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
Brooks And Warren In Heaven: A Short Story With Endnotes, James A. Perkins
Robert Penn Warren Studies
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?
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 …

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.

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.”
