J OHN C ROWE R ANSOM B ELLS FOR J OHN W HITESIDE'S D AUGHTER
There was such speed in her little body,
And such lightness in her footfall,
It is no wonder her brown study
Astonishes us all. Her wars were bruited in our high window.
We looked among orchard trees and beyond
Where she took arms against her shadow,
Or harried unto the pond The lazy geese, like a snow cloud
Dripping their snow on the green grass,
Tricking and stopping, sleepy and proud,
Who cried in goose, Alas, For the tireless heart within the little Lady with rod that made them rise From their noon apple-dreams and scuttle Goose-fashion under the skies! But now go the bells, and we are ready, In one house we are sternly stopped To say we are vexed at her brown study, Lying so primly propped. D EAD B OY 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.

John Crowe Ransom
Survey of Literature
In all the good Greek of Plato
I lack my roast beef and potato.
A better man was Aristotle,
Pulling steady on the bottle.
I dip my hat to Chaucer,
Swilling soup from his saucer,
And to Master Shakespeare
Who wrote big on small beer.
The abstemious Wordsworth Subsisted on a curd's-worth, But a slick one was Tennyson, Putting gravy on his venison. What these men had to eat and drink Is what we say and what we think. The influence of Milton Came wry out of Stilton. Sing a song for Percy Shelley, Drowned in pale lemon jelly, And for precious John Keats, Dripping blood of pickled beets. Then there was poor Willie Blake, He foundered on sweet cake. God have mercy on the sinner Who must write with no dinner, No gravy and no grub, No pewter and no pub, No belly and no bowels, Only consonants and vowels.

He was among those Fugitives who became known as the Agrarians. Their I'll Take My Stand (1930) criticized the idea that industrialization was the answer to the needs of the South. Ransom taught from 1937 until his retirement in 1958 at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where he founded the literary magazine The Kenyon Review

Add to a Notebook John Crowe Ransom John Crowe Ransom was born in 1888 in Pulaski, Tennessee. He received an undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University in 1909, studied as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and served in the First World War. He became a professor at Vanderbilt and later accepted a position at Kenyon College, where he became founder and editor of The Kenyon Review , and remained there until his retirement in 1959. Ransom published three slim volumes of highly acclaimed poetry, but after 1927 principally devoted himself to critical writing. He was a guiding member of the Fugitives, a group of writers who were wary of the social and cultural changes they were witnessing in the South during the early part of the twentieth century. The Fugitives sought to preserve a traditional aesthetic ideal which was firmly rooted in classical values and forms. As a critic, he had an enormous influence on an entire generation of poets and fellow academics, who subscribed to the doctrines he laid out as the "New Criticism." His ideals were John Donne and the English metaphysical poetry of the 17th century. He believed in the poetic virtues of irony and complexity, and the importance of adhering to traditional prosodic techniques of meter, stanza, and rhyme. His own poems are marked by irony and a spare classicism, and a concern with the inevitable decay of all things human.

Classroom Issues and Strategies
Focusing on Ransom's use of language, his wit and irony, seems to be the best route to exploring his themes on a level that students will respond to. Moving from the particular to the universal works even for the poems that seem to be fairly abstract; certainly the theme of "The Equilibrists" is one that students can react to once they have discovered or uncovered it. Using the kind of close analysis practiced by the New Critics is invaluable in studying Ransom's poetry. Reading Ransom's poetry aloud is a very good strategy, since reading aloud reveals a lot of the liveliness that students sometimes miss on the printed page and also illuminates the ironic tone. Students seem to be interested in the themes of transience and mutability and in the dichotomy of the body and the soul. They also sometimes get involved with Ransom's work by following up allusions to myths and legends.

John Crowe Ransom's Life and Career Kieran Quinlan R ANSOM, John Crowe (30 Apr. l888-3 July 1974), poet and critic, was born in Pulaski, Tennessee, the son of John James Ransom, a Methodist minister, and Ella Crowe. Raised in a strongly religious though also very open-minded household, the precocious Ransom entered Vanderbilt University in Nashville at age fifteen. Following graduation in 1909 and a stint as a high school teacher, he went on to study classics as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford from 1910 to 1913. Ransom was appointed to an instructorship in Vanderbilt's English department in 1914 and, apart from service as an artillery officer in France during World War I, remained there until his departure for Kenyon College in Ohio in 1937. In 1920, Ransom married Robb Reavill; the couple had three children. Ransom's original interest lay more in philosophy than in literature; his letters from Oxford to his father express his sympathies with the American pragmatists and with John Dewey in particular. His growing concern with aesthetic issues, howeversuch as the need to give a satisfactory account of the "unknown quality of poetry," its preference for the imaginative rather than the logicaland his exposure to arguments about free verse ( vers libre as a member of the Fugitive literary group, which he joined on returning to Nashville, inspired him to begin writing poetry. The Fugitivesthe other notable members of which were Donald Davidson, Allen Tate, and Robert Penn Warrenhad also begun as a philosophically oriented discussion group, but they were soon meeting regularly to offer sustained criticism of one another's poems.
