In The Fugitive Legacy, Charlotte H. Beck demonstrates the strong
influence of the Nashville Fugitives as teachers, editors, and
mentors by examining the extraordinary impact on American letters
of the critics, poets, and fiction writers whom they taught or
sponsored. Previously, the proteges of John Crowe Ransom, Allen
Tate, Donald Davidson, and Robert Penn Warren have received
considerable scholarly attention only as individuals or in relation
to small groups of close-knit writers within single literary
genres. Now, for the first time, this far-ranging group of
accomplished writers is united as part of a larger phenomenon, the
Fugitive legacy, which has extended its influence far beyond the
parameters of southern literature.
After surveying the editorial legacy of the major Fugitives,
Beck treats the Fugitive legacy in criticism and the major impact
of Cleanth Brooks and the New Criticism. She next examines the
extensive influence of the Fugitives on the poetry of Randall
Jarrell, John Berryman, and Robert Lowell. The largest section of
the study deals with the Fugitive legacy in fiction, as Beck
stresses the work of six writers -- Andrew Lytle, Katherine Anne
Porter, Caroline Gordon, Eudora Welty, Peter Taylor, and Flannery
O'Connor.
By treating the careers of these brilliant authors as a single
chapter in literary history, Beck makes an invaluable contribution
to the understanding of southern literature.
