Collected Poems, 1919-1976 (FSG Classics)
One of the early-twentieth century Southern intellectuals and artists of the early twentieth century known as the Agrarians, Allen Tate wrote poetry that was rooted strongly in that region’s past—in the land, the people, and the traditions of the American South as well as in the forms and concerns of the classic poets. In “Ode to the Confederate Dead”— generally recognized as his greatest poem—he delineates both the horror of the sight of rows of tombstones at a Confederate cemetery and the honor that such sacrifice embodies, resulting in "a masterpiece that could not be transcended" (William Pratt).

Pre-Raphaelite Vision: Truth to Nature
The Pre-Raphaelites brought about a revolution in depicting landscape that was arguably as radical as anything achieved by their near contemporaries, the Impressionists. Deeply rooted as they were in both scientific and religious culture and inspired by the theories of John Ruskin, the Pre-Raphaelites experienced an exhilarating passion for the natural world that suffuses their works and animates their vision.

This authoritative and lavishly illustrated book, the first study of landscape in Pre-Raphaelite painting for many years, highlights an often overlooked aspect of the movement. Among the artists featured are John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, Ford Madox Brown, John Brett, George Price Boyce, William Davis, and Daniel Alexander Williamson. AUTHOR BIO: Allen Staley is professor emeritus of art history at Columbia University and the author of The Pre-Raphaelite Landscape. Christopher Newall, a writer and lecturer specializing in 19th-century British art, is the author of Victorian Watercolors..

The Cultural Politics of the New Criticism
In this book, Mark Jancovich concentrates on the works of three leading American writers - Robert Penn Warren, John Crowe Ransom and Allen Tate - in order to examine the development of the New Criticism during the late 1920s and early 1930s, and its establishment within the academy in the late 1930s and 1940s. This critical movement managed to transform the teaching and study of English through a series of essays published in journals such as the Southern Review and the Kenyon Review. Jancovich argues that the New Criticism was not an example of bourgeois individualism, as previously held, but that it sprang from a critique of modern capitalist society developed by pre-capitalist classes within the American South. In the process, he clarifies the distinctions between the aims of these three Southern poets from those of the next 'generation' of New Critics such as Cleanth Brooks, Warren and Welleck, and Wimsatt and Beardsley. He also claims that the failure on the part of most contemporary critics to identify the movement's ideological origins and aims has usually meant that these critics continue to operate within the very professional terms of reference established through the New Critical transformations of the academy..
