John Crowe Ransom Born: April 30, 1888 Died: July 3, 1974 John Crowe Ransom is often called a "major minor poet," one who made a significant contribution to literature, but is not widely read. His poetry was strongly praised by his friends and critics, and Ransom's contributions to criticism and literary theory were of even greater importance, affecting many twentieth century writers. He was convincing with his opinions, and even more so when he changed them. He once destroyed a book-length manuscript he had spent a year writing because it was "hopelessly abstract." Ransom was born in Pulaski, Tennessee. His father, a Methodist minister, and mother raised Ransom and his three siblings in a very religious, yet open-minded household. Ransom was home-schooled until he was ten years old, at which point he entered public school and then Nashville's Bowen School, one of the preparatory schools. Ransom later wrote that Angus Bowen, the headmaster, had done "more for my ... education than any other man." He entered Vanderbilt University when he was just fifteen years old, and after two years, left he couldn't afford tuition. He then taught in Lewisburg, Tennessee. After a year drilling high school students on their Latin and Greek, he was eager to return to college. Back at Vanderbilt, he edited the Observer , the literary magazine, and was selected for the honor society Phi Beta Kappa.

back home up next Dead Boy The little cousin is dead, by foul subtraction, A green bough from Virginia's aged tree, And none of the county kin like the transaction, Nor some of the world of outer dark, like me. A boy not beautiful, nor good, nor clever, A black cloud full of storms too hot for keeping, A sword beneath his mother's heart—yet never Woman bewept her babe as this is weeping. A pig with a pasty face, so I had said, Squealing for cookies, kinned by poor pretense With a noble house. But the little man quite dead, I see the forbears' antique lineaments. The elder men have strode by the box of death To the wide flag porch, and muttering low send round The bruit of the day. O friendly waste of breath!

Border States: Journal of the Kentucky-Tennessee American Studies Association, No. 7 (1989) GIMME THAT OLD TIME RELIGION: JOHN CROWE RANSOM AND WILL D. CAMPBELL AS CRITICS OF AMERICAN RELIGION Thomas D. Kennedy Austin Peay State University It is a truism to say that the South has been and remains one of the most conservative politically and religiously conservative regions in the nation. Whereas in the past when one spoke of religion in the South the Scopes trial may have come immediately to mind, today it is school textbook controversies or the contemporary version of circuit riding evangelists, the televangelists, mighty and fallen. Among these are religious broadcaster Pat Robertson of Virginia Beach, Jerry Falwell of Lynchburg, Virginia, Oral Roberts of Tulsa, Jim Bakker (not himself a Southerner) and the Fort Mill, South Carolina, based PTL Club, and Jimmy Swaggart of Baton Rouge. Though these names are familiar, it is too seldom recognized that within Southern religion there are trenchant critics who are as loyal to their Southern identity as they are unforgiving of American not just Southern religion. I want to look briefly at two of these Southern critics of American religion, John Crowe Ransom and Will D. Campbell. Widely disparate in terms of vocations, socio-economic backgrounds, and theological commitments, these two men, separated by three decades, nevertheless think of themselves as Southerners and offer a Southern analysis of the ills of American religion. They engage in identical task, to use Biblical language, the task of naming the powers, the invisible forces of evil which manifest themselves in human institutions. And they are in at least partial agreement as to the identity of these powers which oppress the human spirit. A comparison of these two critics may, thus, provide us with some insight into the character of Southern religion and perhaps into the Southern character itself, if there be such a thing.
