One of the most important of the Southern magazines in the 1920s
was" The Fugitive," a magazine of verse and brief commentaries on
literature in general. Among its contributors were John Crowe
Ransom, Allen Tate, Robert Penn Warren, Donald Davidson, and
Merrill Moore. Publication began in April 1922 and ended in
December 1925. Soon thereafter, the "Fugitive" writers and some
others became profoundly concerned with the materialism of American
life and its effect upon the South. The group became known as
"Agrarians." Their thinking and discussion culminated in a
symposium, "I'll Take My Stand," published in 1930.
In his first two lectures Davidson describes the underlying
nature and aims of the Fugitive and Agrarian movements. He brings
to the discussion his intimate and thorough knowledge of Southern
life and letters. The third lecture deals with the place of the
writer in the modern university, posing the questions of whether
the writer needs the university and whether the university needs or
wants the writer.
