"Conkin examines the early years, heyday, and demise of Agrarianism, beginning with the Fugitive poetry movement of the 1920s, on into the publication of the Agrarian manifesto I'll Take My Stand {BRD 1930, 1931}, through the group's period of political activism in the mid-thirties, and finally to their{failure. Conkin seeks to} . . . demonstrate that the Agrarians diverged radically not only in their personalities and ideology but also in the tactics they used to battle Northern industrialists and New South sociologists." (Am Lit) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
"The Southern Agrarians were a group of twelve young men who joined, from 1929 to 1937, in a fascinating intellectual and political movement. Prominent among them were Robert Penn Warren, Allen Tate, John Crowe Ransom, and Donald Davidson. In the midst of the depression, these gifted writers tried, as did so many other intellectuals, to plot the best cultural and economic choices open to southerners and Americans as a whole. That they failed to gain most of their goals does not diminish the significance of their crusade, or the enduring values that they espoused." Interweaving group biography and intellectual history, Conkin traces how these young intellectuals came to write their classic manifesto, I'll Take My Stand, relates their political advocacy to the earlier Fugitive movement in poetry, and follows their careers after the Agrarian crusade fell apart. More than any other historian or critic, Conkin takes seriously the economic and political beliefs of these southern writers.
