''
In Superfluous Southerners, John
J. Langdale III tells the story of traditionalist conservatism and its
boundaries in twentieth-century America. Because this time period
encompasses both the rise of the modern conservative movement and the
demise of southern regional distinctiveness, it affords an ideal setting
both for observing the potentiality of American conservatism and for
understanding the fate of the traditionalist “man of letters.” Langdale
uses the intellectual and literary histories of John Crowe Ransom,
Donald Davidson, and Allen Tate—the three principal contributors to the
Agrarian manifesto I’ll Take My Stand—and of their three most
remarkable intellectual descendants—Cleanth Brooks, Richard Weaver, and
Melvin Bradford—to explore these issues.
Langdale begins his
study with some observations on the nature of American exceptionalism
and the intrinsic barriers which it presents to the traditionalist
conservative imagination. While works like Louis Menand’s The Metaphysical Club
have traced the origins of modern pragmatic liberalism during the late
nineteenth century, the nature of conservative thought in postbellum
America remains less completely understood. Accordingly, Langdale
considers the origins of the New Humanism movement at the turn of the
twentieth century, then turning to the manner in which midwesterners
Irving Babbitt and Paul Elmer Moore stirred the imagination of the
southern Agrarians during the 1920s.
