Time's Glory: Original Essays on Robert Penn Warren

By James A. Grimshaw Jr. and James A. Grimshaw

Robert Penn Warren, the first U.S. Poet
Laureate, has received every honor this country can bestow on a writer. Warren
has written fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and has proven to be one of the
most versatile writers in modern times. Now, seven original essays on Warren's
writing, written by leading scholars and students, have been brought together
in one volume.
In Warren's fiction sloth, or acedia, is the deadliest of sins. Frances
Bixler examines this theme as it courses through five novels. World
Enough and Time and The Cave both are analyzed in
chapters of their own. Warren's volume of poetry Altitudes and Extensions is
given a close reading, while his nonfiction works, particularly The
Legacy of the Civil War and Jefferson Davis Gets His Citizenship
Back, are also critiqued.
The breadth and depth of Robert Penn Warren's canon of work are illustrated
by the essays collected by James A. Grimshaw, Jr. Although many books have been
written on Warren and his work, to cover such a wide range of his work in one
volume is a rare achievement.
James A. Grimshaw, Jr., is a professor in, and head of, the Department of
Literature and Languages at East Texas State University. His publications
include Robert Penn Warren: A Descriptive Bibliography and
Robert Penn Warren's Brother to Dragons: A
Discussion .
