From Library Journal From the time of his involvement with the Agrarian Movement in the 1930s, Lytle has been a major figure in Southern letters. The essays in this collection illustrate not only his critical acumen but also his versatility. Lytle writes on Southern literature generally, on such major figures as Ransom, Faulkner, and Warren, and more broadly on literary tradition as represented by Tolstoy, Flaubert, Joyce, and others. While Lytle views himself primarily as a novelist, the criticism here shows him to be an astute and sensitive observer of Western civilization.

Long Night (Library of Alabama Classics)

United States

University Alabama Press

ivil War fiction from one of the Agrarian Writers of the New South. A first-rate novel that provides vivid descriptions of Alabama during an important period in the state's history. The Long Night is set in the vicinity of Montgomery, Alabama, between 1850 and 1865.

Genre Fiction

At the Moon's Inn, first published in 1941, provides a fictional account of De Soto's famous Spanish expedition to La Florida and through the southeastern United States between 1539 and 1543. The novel begins in Spain in 1538, where De Soto and his chief lieutenants, veterans of the campaigns in South America, pledge themselves to a new enterprise to explore and exploit La Florida. The narrative follows them on their voyage to Cuba, where they rest and obtain additional supplies, then set sail for the area now known as Tampa Bay. Lytle's brilliant historical novel takes the readers with the conquistadores through the hot, humid land, where despite their advantage in military technology they found they must rely on the Indians for food. The author explores the cultural confrontation that seriously weakened the Indians, while the Spaniards' dreams of gold gradually turned to hopes of survival in the hostile environment. Drawing his facts from the 1939 United States De Soto Commission Report and from the surviving historical chronicles of the expedition, Lytle weaves a fascinating tale that brings to life the history of Spanish efforts to establish a controlling presence in the New World during the first half of the 16th century. In his introduction, Douglas Jones places At the Moon's Inn within the context of the documentary record, as well as within the framework of its distinguished author's career.

"Regeneration is far more difficult than generation," Andrew Lytle wrote to his friend and fellow writer Allen Tate. With this thought in mind, A Name for Evil examines the question of whether an individual can, through sheer force of will, recover the past. During World War II, Henry Brent and his wife Ellen buy a deteriorating Tennessee mansion named The Grove, intending to restore it and the land surrounding it to its former glory. The land, however, is imbued with the spirit of its former owner, Major Brent, a malevolent presence which hangs over The Grove, appearing to Henry as a ghostly shade throughout the run-down house. A psychological study of egotism, tradition, and progress, A Name For Evil is a tragic examination of man's consuming desire to overcome mortality by controlling the past -- and future.
