Join us as we continue our literary journey with poet and author Yvor Winters. A Chicago native but raised in California his work speaks for itself in more ways than one. His style was dogmatic, moralising, dismissive; which created aa school of students (of mixed loyalty). Yvor was sometimes and questionably associated with the New Criticism, largely because John Crowe Ransom devoted a chapter to him in his book by the same name. His many works include; In Defense of Reason (1947), which is a major critical work; a collection of three earlier studies-Primitivism and Decadence (1937), Maule's Curse (1938), and The Anatomy of Nonsense (1943). His poetry, ranging in mood from the austere to the lyrical, appears in Collected Poems (1952) and The Early Poems of Yvor Winters (1966). Tune in as we journey with poet, author and critic Yvor Winters. Stay tuned and keep it locked.
