Abstract
In these wretched days of cellular telephones and electronic mail we shall probably never again see the like of Allen Tate. Tate wrote letters—letters that were often as elegant, incisive, and discriminating as the finest critical commentary. Along with a splendid body of poems and essays, Tate's voluminous correspondence represents an important contribution to American literature. Alphonse Vinh's skillfully edited and annotated collection, which brings together the more than 250 letters that Tate exchanged with Cleanth Brooks between 1933 and 1976, is thus indispensable for the study of American literary history in the twentieth century.
