  • William Faulkner, Richard M. Weaver, and the Crisis of Modernity
    Divine Philosophies of Two Southern Gentlemen: William Faulkner, Richard M. Weaver, and the Crisis of Modernity Submitted by Vickie Lynn Caudle A thesis submitted i n partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Northeastern State University December 2015 ii Divine Philoso ph ies of Two Southern Gen tlemen: Will iam Faulkner, Richard M. Weave r, and the Crisis of Moderni ty Vickie Lynn Caudle Th is th esis is approv .for recom mend ation to the Graduate College / / 2 Dean, Graduate College, Date 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the response in writing of two Southern writers, William Faulkner and Richard M. Weaver, to the crisis of modernity. In looking at some of the changes brought about in the society as well as problems created, these two Southern sons respond to the same and offer some solutions through Platonic ideas or concepts of the metaphysical as is shown in their narrative and philosophical work. Two of the early works of Faulkner, The Unvanquished and Sanctuary, as well as three of the essays of Weaver, "The Phaedrus and the Nature of Rhetoric," "To Write the Truth," and "The Power of the Word," are considered. Weaver offers a powerful critique of modernity and the problems associated with it. Faulkner's offering is less direct, as his is through the creative response of narrative. Both demonstrate how the evils of modernity can be countered by a combination of dialectic and right rhetoric rooted in a commitment to the ideas of the metaphysical. 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who has listened to, encouraged, and supported me throughout this endeavor.

Allen Tate, Merrill Moore, Robert Penn Warren, John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson. Five balding white men, dressed impeccably in suits and ties, are seated outdoors, Iobviously posed by photographer Joe Rudis to appear as if lost in con- versation. Despite the artifice, the subjects seem relaxed and even playful, what with Moore practically sitting on Tate’s lap, Warren lean- ing in as if to insert a word edgewise, and the entire group looking to Allen Tate as if expecting a clever remark. It was a happy moment for the old friends. It was 1956, and after three decades of being ignored by the University, the Fugitives had returned to campus in glory for a colloquium devoted to their literary work.

  • Revolution on Campus
    1 Revolution on Campus The young girl who sidled into my office looked as if she had fought her way through a riot of enemies. Her brown hair was beaten into disorder, with here and there a desperate bobby pin hanging on by the tips of its fingers. Her slip hung well below her skirt as if deliberately yanked there. Straps snarled into sight at her shoulder. When she said, "I have brought some poems," her voice had the remote hush of someone speaking from an echo chamber. But the poems were wonderful meditations of whales and fleas and angels startled from telephone wires in small-town alleys. It was then I noticed that her eyes completely possessed her body and gave a central shape of living brown to a face whose features otherwise had hardly any relation to each other. Behind those eyes, I later discovered, was the true, glittering imagination of the artist. Physically and temperamentally, she would have seemed to many the embodiment of Greenwich Village. What had brought her to a university? A new thing is happening in America, something which gives such a talented girl encouragement and direction, something which may affect the whole course of our literature. For now the young writer has the middle ground of the college, with its other young writers and its teachers of writing, who are usually writers themselves. No longer does such a beginning poet have to choose between the fiery but often destroying incandescence of New York and the lonely spark of his own isolation in any of ten thousand towns across the continent.

  • 1924 Introducing Modernism.Pdf —
    1924, Introducing “Modernism” The Deep Archive in the Age of WWWisibility Philipp Rößler HUMBOLDT-UNIVERSITÄT ZU BERLIN 1 But can those have been possible seeing that they never were? Or was that only possible which came to pass? [...] It must be a movement then, an actuality of the possible as possible. (James Joyce, Ulysses) Mendel’s concept of the laws of genetics was lost to the world for a generation because his publication did not reach the few who were capable of grasping and extending it; and this sort of catastrophe is undoubtedly being repeated all about us, as truly significant attainments become lost in the mass of the inconsequential. (Vannevar Bush, “As We May Think”) Between1 October 2015 and November 2016 the face of Modernism changed, its complexion changed.2 It regained some of its originality – regained it because its originality has become more visible, even if this change of complexion remains overlooked. In this overlooking the scholarly narrative of Modernism has forgotten itself, or rather it has forgotten to interrogate itself about itself in one important respect. The common assumption in the critical literature on Modernism is that the question “[W]hat is Modernism?,”3 asked in 1924 by John Crowe Ransom – Ransom did not dare to venture an answer to his question beyond stating “It is undefined”4 – was answered at least somewhat comprehensively and in a movement-defining way for the first time in 1927 by Laura Riding and Robert Graves’s A Survey of Modernist Poetry or in 1931 by Edmund Wilson’s Axel’s Castle,5 in the latter of course under the imprint ‘Symbolism.’6 Most scholars of Modernism assessing the critical value of Riding and Graves’s contribution hold that in 1927 “it was […] too early for a more comprehensive critical synthesis or for a critical assessment of the concept of modernism.”7 In fact, the question “What is Modernism?” was answered, comprehensively and in a movement-defining way in the very same year the question was put, namely in 1924.
