A distinguished poet, novelist, critic, and teacher, he won virtually every major award given to writers in the United States and was the only person to receive a Pulitzer Prize in both fiction (once) and poetry (twice). Described by Newsweek reviewer Annalyn Swan as Americas dean of letters and, in all but name, poet laureate, Robert Penn Warren w...
The Fugitives drifted apart in the mid-1920s, about the same time Warren graduated from Vanderbilt and headed west to continue his education at the University of California, Berkeley. After earning his MA from Berkeley in 1927, Warren attended Yale University and then Oxford University, where he stumbled on writing fiction. Homesick and weary of de...
Though Warren did indeed write several novels during the next decade (only one of which, Night Rider, was published), most of his time and effort was spent trying to earn a living. Returning to Tennessee in 1930 after completing his studies at Oxford, he briefly served on the faculty of Southwestern Presbyterian University (now Southwestern at Memp...
Poetry and fiction were thus Warrens main concerns throughout his long career, with poetry having edged out fiction as the authors preferred genre since the mid-1950s. He saw nothing unusual in the fact that he made notable contributions to both, remarking to Baker that a poem for me and a novel are not so different. They start much the same way, o...
For the most part, these basic ideas in Warrens poetry and fiction sprang from his Southern Agrarian heritage. Observes Marshall Walker in London Magazine: Warren began as an enlightened conservative Southerner. Like his close associates, John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson, Allen Tate, Andrew Lytle, he was acutely aware of the gulf widening between...
For Warren, this process of self-discovery was painful, yet the opposite stateignorancewas brutish. In his book The Poetic Vision of Robert Penn Warren, Victor Strandberg declares that the contemplation of this passage from innocence to maturity is the crucial center of Warrens career. With this theme in mind, writes Strandberg, Warren typically di...
The action in most of Warrens work thus consists primarily of an idealistic narrators search for his or her identity in an atmosphere of confusion and/or corruption. This search eventually leads to recognition of the worlds fallen state and, consequently, of the selfs innate depravity, to use Strandbergs phrase. In an attempt to overcome the sense ...
Therefore, as Wilkie interprets it, Warrens goal is to provide an overview of the human condition and to explicate, or mirror, the perplexities of existence in a world in which belief in God has faded. [He] characterizes himself as a `yearner, suggesting that although he does not believe in God, he does believe that man must work out his own code b...
Most observers find Warrens language, style, and tone to be perfectly suited to his subject matter. His language, for example, is a lyrical mixture of earthiness and elegance, of the folk speech of Kentucky and Tennessee and what James Dickey refers to in the Saturday Review as a rather quaintly old-fangled scholastic vocabulary. Richard Jackson of...
After emerging from a ten-year-long period of poets block in 1954, Warren devoted most of his creative energies to writing verse. Unlike his early (pre-1944) poetry, which sprang from either the contemplation of complex metaphysical concepts or the ballads and narratives native to his region, Warrens later poetry was inspired by a mood, a natural e...
Warren sees ... what few of us have seen, states David Bromwich in the Hudson Review. His poems draw their sustenance from a world of buzzards and swamps and forests almost unscarred; of iron loyalties and sudden betrayals; of the aimless talk of old men, interrupted by a rifle shot, and followed by silence. It is a world in which everything may de...
Though Warren did not deny that man is an integral part of nature, what he celebrated in his poetry was the trait that sets man apart from naturenamely, his ability (and desire) to seek knowledge in his quest to make sense out of life. As a result, reports Peter Stitt in the Southern Review, Warrens poems are a resounding testament to man, to natur...
A few reviewers attribute Warrens occasional awkwardness to the very quality that has made him such a noteworthy figure in American literature: his versatility. Eric Bentley, for one, speculates that Warrens dual role as both artist and critic hinders his ability to submerge himself in the artist. Continues Bentley in a Kenyon Review article: Trite...
Parnassus reviewer Rachel Hadas maintains that Warrens difficulties stem from nothing as simple as a lack of talent. Explains Hadas: Part of the problem seems to be an inordinate ambition for grandeur; part is what feels to me like haste. If Warren were in less of a hurry to chronicle each dawn dream, birdsong, and memory as it occurred, a process ...
