Bishop White House
Clergyman to the Continental Congress.
I n the early 1770s, Jacob Duche headed the Anglican Church in the colonies. However, the clergyman also supported the Americans in their ever-widening rebellion against the British. This did not set well with church officials in England who forced Duche to recant his views and called him home to England. It was William White who ultimately succeeded him and went on to become the first consecrated bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America. He was the rector of Christ and St. Peter's Churches. White then went on to become the Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Pennsylvania. The Bishop was a beloved Philadelphia figure, in large part due to his charitable church work. Later in the 1790s, his stature grew when he ministered to those infected with Yellow Fever, while many other men of wealth abandoned the city.
The fine furnishings of the house indicate the elite social standing of the Bishop and his family. The Bishop's grandfather was landed gentry in England. His father settled in Philadelphia via Maryland. The Bishop was born in Philadelphia. The Bishop's wife Elizabeth came from a landed Virginia family. It is noteworthy that Bishop White's brother-in-law was financier Robert Morris. The Bishop's position in Philadelphia he was Chaplain of the Continental Congress and later filled the same office for the United States Senate meant that the important men and women of his time came here as guests. George Washington dined (though did not sleep) at the

AMERICAN POETS
John Peale BISHOP , born May 21, 1892, in Charles Town, West Virginia: poet, novelist, and critic, a member of the lost generation and a close associate of the American expatriate writers in Paris in the 1920s. At Princeton University, from which he graduated in 1917, Bishop formed lifelong friendships with Edmund Wilson, the future critic, and with the novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, who depicted Bishop as the highbrow writer Tom D'Invilliers in This Side of Paradise . Bishop published his first volume of verse, Green Fruit , in 1917. During the war, he served with the 84th Division, and served in the Argonne. After the war he was an editor at Vanity Fair magazine in New York City from 1920 to 1922. He married into wealth and traveled throughout Europe. From 1926 to 1933, he lived in France and acquired a deep admiration for French culture. His collection of stories about his native South, Many Thousands Gone (1931), was followed with a volume of poetry, Now with His Love Act of Darkness , a novel tracing the coming of age of a young man, and Minute Particulars , a collection of verse, both appeared in 1935. He became chief poetry reviewer for

Allen Tate's Life and Career David Havird T ATE was born John Orley Allen Tate near Winchester, Kentucky, the son of John Orley Tate, a businessman, and Eleanor Parke Custis Varnell. During Tate's childhood the business interests of his father-lumber, land sales, and stocks-forced the family to move as often as three times a year. As Tate later recalled, "we might as well have been living, and I been born, in a tavern at a crossroads." By 1911 his father's business ventures and his parents' marriage had failed. The youngest of three boys by almost ten years, Tate found himself in "perpetual motion" with his mother, a native Virginian whose family seat in Fairfax County later became the "Pleasant Hill" of Tate's only novel, The Fathers From 1916 to 1917 Tate studied the violin at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. As he implies in his late poem "The Buried Lake" (1953), his failure to fulfill his musical ambitions signaled "the death of youth." In 1918 he enrolled at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. During the fall semester of his senior year (1921), at the invitation of Donald Davidson, a member of the English faculty, Tate began attending the informal meetings of the group of men, which also included his sometime professor John Crowe Ransom, that launched the Fugitive in 1922. Tate thus became a founding editor of the poetry journal whose three-year run heralded the literary renascence of the South.

THE FIFTIES' TWENTIES
John Peale Bishop, "A Recollection"
written sometime in the mid-1920s Famously she descended, her red hair
Unbound and bronzed by sea-reflections, caught
Crinkled with sea-pearls. The fine slender taut
Knees that let down her feet upon the air, Young breasts, slim flanks and golden quarries were
Odder than when the young distraught
Unknown Venetian, painting her portrait, thought
He'd not imagined what he painted there. And I too commerced with that golden cloud:
Lipped her delicious hands and had my ease
Faring fantastically, perversely proud. All loveliness demands our courtesies.
Since she was dead I praised her as I could
Silently, among the Barberini bees.
from William Jay Smith's "Epigrams," collected in Smith's Poems, 1947-57 (Boston: Little Brown, 1957)
