Add to a Notebook Robert Penn Warren Robert Penn Warren was born in Guthrie, Todd County, Kentucky, in 1905. He entered Vanderbilt University in 1921, where he became the youngest member of the group of Southern poets called the Fugitives, which included John Crowe Ransom Allen Tate , Donald Davidson, and Merrill Moore. Warren's first poems were published in The Fugitive , a magazine which the group published from 1922 to 1925. The Fugitives were advocates of the rural Southern agrarian tradition and based their poetry and critical perspective on classical aesthetic ideals. From 1925 to 1927, Warren was a teaching fellow at The University of California, where he earned a master's degree. He studied at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and returned to the United States in 1930. He taught at Vanderbilt, Louisiana State, The University of Minnesota, and Yale University. With Cleanth Brooks, he wrote Understanding Poetry (1938), a textbook which has widely influenced the study of poetry at the college level in America.

    Extractions: ROBERT PENN WARREN by George Brosi No Kentucky author comes close to being as distinguished as Robert Penn Warren. Indeed, few American writers do! He served as the very first Poet Laureate of the United States of America and he remains the only writer ever to have received Pulitzer Prizes for both fiction and poetry. In fact, he received two Pulitzers in poetry for two different books! His writing about literary criticism in general and his responses to particular writersespecially William Faulkner and Katherine Anne Porter are as influential as any in this century. Mary Ellen Miller is not exaggerating when he writes in The Kentucky Encyclopedia that Warren is "one of the most distinguished scholar-writers America has produced. I'll Take My Stand Warren began his teaching career at Louisiana State University in 1934. There he collaborated with Cleanth Brooks, a native of Murray, Kentucky, not far from Guthrie, who had also been a part of the Vanderbilt Fugitives. Their text books and the publication they founded and directed, The Southern Review , were tremendously influential in literary circles. However, Warren's first novel and first poetry collections attracted little notice. In 1942 Warren accepted a teaching job at the University of Minnesota where he remained until 1951. It was during this time that Warren not only consolidated his reputation as a leading literary critic, but became successful as a novelist.

    Extractions: Robert Penn Warren's Life and Career Charles Bohner W ARREN, Robert Penn (24 Apr. 1905-15 Sept. 1989), author and educator, was born in Guthrie, Kentucky, the son of Robert Franklin Warren, a businessman, and Anna Ruth Penn, a schoolteacher. Throughout Warren's childhood on a Kentucky tobacco farm he heard tales of the Civil War from his grandfathers, both of whom had fought for the Confederacy. These stories provided a rich source of memories and images that, he later remarked, nurtured his art. The shaping influence of this southern heritage is inescapable in any consideration of Warren's life. Although he left the South for good when he was thirty-seven years old, he never left it in spirit, and much of his artistic energy was expended in an effort to reconcile his loyalty to the region with the claims of modernism. During the summer of 1920, while waiting to take up an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, Warren lost the sight of one eye when he was accidentally hit by a stone carelessly thrown by his younger brother Thomas. As crucial as his southern upbringing, this event determined the direction of his life. Only in late middle age could he bring himself to discuss its devastating consequences. "I felt," he wrote, "a kind of shameshame is not the wordbut disqualification for life ... some sense of being maimed " (Watkins, p. 55). In a century that offered young men unparalleled opportunities for action, he was destined to play the role of observer and commentator. Forced to abandon a naval career, he enrolled at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, intending to study engineering.

His early verse was much influenced by the metaphysical poets , but his later poetry is simpler and more regional. Among his volumes of poetry are Thirty-six Poems Brother to Dragons (1953; Pulitzer), a long, dramatic poem; Promises (1957; Pulitzer), Selected Poems: New and Old Incarnations Audubon: A Vision Or Else (1974), and (1985). Warren's most famous novel is All the King's Men (1946; Pulitzer), which concerns the rise to power of a political demagogue resembling Huey Long . Among his other novels are World Enough and Time The Cave Wilderness Flood Meet Me in the Green Glen (1971), and A Place to Come To (1977).

Who's Who in Ky Lib. Robert Penn Warren Library The Library Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989) lived in Kentucky for a relatively short part of his life, but Kentucky remained with him throughout his eighty-four years. Because of close ties with family and friends in south-central Kentucky, his family chose to give his personal library to Western Kentucky University after his death. In presenting the collection to the university, Warren's wife Eleanor Clark said she wanted others to have access to these items because of their "intimate working importance" to Warren. Go to top Biography Robert Penn Warren, distinguished scholar-writer, was born in Guthrie, Kentucky, on April 24, 1905. He attended public schools in Guthrie and Clarksville, Tennessee; graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University (1925); and received an M.A. in English from the University of California, Berkeley (1927). He studied at Yale and enjoyed two years at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, subsequently earning the B.Litt. Degree at Oxford in 1930. While a student, Warren formed lasting friendships with other writers, participated in literary discussion groups and in the founding of a journal called

34. Robert Penn Warren's Modernist Spirituality, By Robert S. Koppelman
    robert penn warren's Modernist Spirituality. robert S. Koppelman. Fora writer who described himself only as a 'yearner' after religion  
    http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/spring1995/koppelma.htm
    
    Extractions: "For a writer who described himself only as a 'yearner' after religion, the pervasive spirituality in the work of Robert Penn Warren has always been a vexed issue for the critical reader. Robert Koppelman has clarified that murky subject better than most critics in his steadily illuminating book; his superb treatment of A Place to Come To, Warren's summary fiction, is the finest I've see."James H. Justus As a man who disclaimed any kind of religious orthodoxy, Robert Penn Warren nonetheless found in Christianity "the deepest and widest metaphor for life." The significance he drew from it was one he expressed strictly in humanistic and natural terms: spiritual renewal and redemption were possible through engagement with literature and participation in the world. In Robert Penn Warren's Modernist Spirituality, Robert Koppelman explores the spiritual or religious dimension to Warren's work in light of his admitted agnosticism. Beginning with an overview of Warren's career as a Fugitive at Vanderbilt and then, later, as a formidable New Critic, Koppelman argues that Warren's regard for the spiritual aesthetic of both literary language and form can be traced to his early study of poetic metaphor. To illustrate Warren's mature vision, Koppelman centers his study on two novels and two poetry collections:

    http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/spring1998/grimshaw.htm
    
    Extractions: Afterword by R. W. B. Lewis [Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren] shows the working of two of America's best literary minds in an extraordinary collaboration over the span of five decades. It gives a kind of insight into the formulation and writing of literary criticism nowhere else available in such detail. One of the particularly valuable results is an intimate picture of these outstanding poets, critics, and scholars (and their families) in their warm and winning human dimension."Joseph Blotner James A. Grimshaw, Jr., brings together for the first time more than 350 letters exchanged by two scholars who altered the way literature is taught in this country. The selected letters focus on the development of their five major textbooksthe rationale for selections, the details involved in obtaining permissions and preparing indexes, and the demands of meeting deadlines. More important, these letters reveal their attitudes toward literature, teaching, and scholarship. Providing insight into two of the most influential literary minds of this century, these letters show two men who were deeply involved in research and writing, and who were committed to a life of travel, conversation, and learning. Their zest for life and their love of literature explain, in part, their uncanny ability to persevere and to succeed. Yet their human qualities are also present in the letters, which bring Brooks and Warren to life as rare individuals able to sustain a deep, lifelong friendship.
