Description

Continuing where Volume One of the "Selected Letters" left off, the missives from Warren's Baton Rouge years show the young author exploring and testing the boundaries of his genius on a number of simultaneous fronts. Editing the "Southern Review" with Cleanth Brooks (a colleague on the English faculty at Louisiana State University) was the centre of his working life and it offered an almost immediate springboard to prominence on both sides of the Atlantic. He also attended to his own writing and not only emerged as a celebrated poet with the publication of "Thirty-six Poems" in 1936 and "Eleven Poems on the same Theme" in 1942, but also published his first major work of fiction, the novel "Night Rider" in 1939 and effectively completed a second, radically different book, "At Heaven's Gate". During the same period, he and Brooks drew directly upon their classroom challenges to design and launch a series of textbooks that gradually transformed the teaching of poetry and fiction in American colleges and universties.
