Note: THE FUGITIVE was a literary magazine of poetry and criticism published at Vanderbilt University in Nashville from 1922 until 1925. Both faculty and students, including John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, and Robert Penn Warren, among others, contributed to this publication. They were practitioners and defenders of formal techniques in poetry and were preoccupied with defending the traditional values of the agrarian South against the effects of urban industrialization. Some of the Fugitive poets went on to form a second group, the Agrarians. (source: poets.org)
