Sources of Information
- Work cat.: Conkin, P.K. The Southern Agrarians, c1988.
- Holman handbk. to lit.("In current literary history and criticism, however, [the term Agrarians] is usually applied to a group of Southern American writers who published in Nashville, Tennessee, between 1922 and 1925, The Fugitive, a little magazine of poetry and some criticism championing agrarian regionalism but attacking "the old high-caste Brahmins of the Old South." Most of its contributors were associated with Vanderbilt University; among them were John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Donald Davidson, Robert Penn Warren, and Merrill Moore. In the 1930's they championed an agrarian economy as opposed to that of industrial capitalism and issued a collective manifesto, I'll take my stand. They were active in the publication between 1933 and 1937 of The American Review, a socioeconomic magazine that also analyzed contemporary literature. They found an effective literary organ in The Southern Review (1935-1942), under the editorship of Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren. In addition to their poetry and novels, the Agrarians have been prominent among the founders of the new criticism.")

Wikipedia description:
The Southern Agrarians were twelve American Southerners who wrote an agrarian literary manifesto in 1930. They and their essay collection, I’ll Take My Stand: The South and the Agrarian Tradition, contributed to the Southern Renaissance, the reinvigoration of Southern literature in the 1920s and 1930s. They were based at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. John Crowe Ransom was their unofficial leader, though Robert Penn Warren became their most prominent member. The membership overlaps with The Fugitives.
