Since its publication The Fathers has been recognized generally as one of the novels that most effectively embodies the modern literary image of the South. To this, his only novel, Allen Tate brought all of the themes and emotions that held his attention in the thirties and forties. Set in Virginia in the months just before the beginning of the Civil War and during the early period of the fighting, his story is concerned with the meaning behind the aristocratic codes and with the clash in philosophies between the new order and traditional society. In the deepest sense it is an inquiry not only into the meaning of southern memory and history, but also into the crisis of modern civilization. --Back cover.
