ALLEN TATE

In 1925, Allen Tate was the 25-year-old associate editor of The Fugitive, having joined its staff as a precocious undergraduate when it was founded in 1922. (See Southern Renaissance.) He would become one of the central American poets and critics of the middle of the century. He moved to New York in 1925, and for his ill-fated house-sharing with Hart Crane at the end of the year, see the entries for Crane and Aesthete 1925.
