Call for Papers: "Robert Penn Warren and Postmodernism." Panel to be
held at the
Northeast Modern Language Association convention in Hartford (March
30-31, 2001).
Deadline for paper proposals: September 15, 2000
For his association with the New Criticism, as well as for his early
alliance with the conservative Agrarian writers of the South, some might
dismiss Robert Penn Warren as a right wing defender of the old guard of
American poetry. However, by the time he published his 1966 essay "A
Plea in Mitigation: Modern Poetry and the End of an Era," Warren could
proclaim that both Modernism and the New Criticism were definitely
dead. To what extent does Warren enter into the Postmodern era through
his later poetic texts? Any approach related to this topic is welcome:
papers may focus on individual poems and volumes, may take a comparative
approach with another poet, or may consider broader issues such as
Warren's legacy and the canon.
