Product Description
From Library Journal
This unassuming, well-written biography of that often neglected "Agrarian," Allen Tate's wife, yields unexpected dividends. Not only a distinguished fiction-writer and critic in her own right, on the basis of this engrossing portrait, she was a genuinely interesting woman. For some 30 years she was almost the nurturing center of that loose group of Southern writers and Catholic converts who figure largely in our literary history. A workaholic, superbly competent, and generous of her time and energy to a fault, she seems to have embraced wholly the ideal of submissive womanhood and mercilessly chastised herself for her failures to live up to it. Waldron has made extensive use of her letters and used them tellingly to suggest the passionate whiplash of her flawed but admirable personality. Earl Rovit, English Dept., City Coll.,

MUCH better than the biography by Jonza, May 6 2012
By D. Kovacs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Close Connections: Caroline Gordon and the Southern Renaissance (Paperback)
Caroline Gordon and her (ex-) husband Allen Tate have been almost forgotten,but they were at the center of some of the most fascinating literary movements
of the early 20th century -- the Fugitive poets, the Soutern agrarians, and the
Catholic literary revival. This biography, which locates Caroline Gordon at
the heart of the American Southern Literary Renaissance, brings her and the circle
of her family and friends to life. While the style is occasionally breezy,
it does more than any other biography to remind us that her writing -- as well
as Tate's -- is most deserving of closer study.
