Abstract

Vanderbilt and Beyond: The Legacy of the Fugitives by M. Thomas Inge The Fugitive Legacy: A Critical History. By Charlotte H. Beck. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State UP, 2001. xii + 303 pp. $49.95. World of Relations: The Achievement of Peter Taylor. By David N. Robinson. Lexington: UP of Kentucky, 1998. xii + 209 pp. $29.95. That the Fugitive poets at Vanderbilt University had a deep and profound influence on American letters is amply and authoritatively demonstrated by Charlotte H. Beck in her fine study The Fugitive Legacy: A Critical History, a book on which she faithfully and meticulously worked for more than two decades. As she tells the story, what began as a local and regional movement in Nashville with the publication of The Fugitive poetry magazine in 1922 soon became a national phenomenon, and its primary instruments were the university classroom and the subsidized academic literary quarterly. (Some day a history will be written about the importance of the academy in American literature as a central patron and secure abode for the majority of our poets and creative writers.)
