 Washingtonpost.com: Allen Tate: Orphan of the South
Allen often described the horror he felt as a child of six when, at lunch with his parents, he watched his father attack a waiter in a hotel restaurant.
Though in time Allen took a less critical view of his father's philandering and was amused that even on his death bed in 1933 Orley found the energy to compliment the attending nurse on her fine proportions, he felt humiliated for his mother.
Orley, whom Allen later described as "having the pioneer psychology and carrying a gun until he was forty," challenged the man to a duel and waited in vain for him on the street the next morning.

 Allen Tate's Life and Career
ATE was born John Orley Allen Tate near Winchester, Kentucky, the son of John Orley Tate, a businessman, and Eleanor Parke Custis Varnell.
Tate thus became a founding editor of the poetry journal whose three-year run heralded the literary renascence of the South.
Tate maintains that the role of the man of letters is the supervision of language, whose own aim must be "to forward the ends proper to man." For Tate, a convert in 1950 to Roman Catholicism, "[t]he end of social man is communion in time through love, which is beyond time."

 Heath Anthology of American LiteratureAllen Tate - Author Page
John Orley Allen Tate was born in Kentucky in 1899 and attended Vanderbilt University in 1918.
Tate began his career as an admirer of H. Mencken, who excoriated the South as a cultural desert, moved to an interest in the French Symbolist poets (especially Baudelaire), then became devoted to T. Eliot, whose merits Tate was among the first to urge.
Tate felt that if modernity was to salvage sanity, the intellectual must by act of will assert a meaningful social and religious order, almost irrespective of whether he accepted the general truth of that order.

 Allen Tate (1899-1979)
Tate lays out in "Narcissus as Narcissus" what he conceived to be the major themes of "Ode to the Confederate Dead": the conflict between a vanished heroic community of "active faith" and the anomie of contemporary reductionism and isolation.
Tate worked on the first version of "Ode" during the winter of 1925, living in New York with his wife Caroline Gordon and, for a time, in a cramped apartment, with Hart Crane.
And of course Tate's historical connections with the Fugitives, Agrarians, and New Critics--among them John Crowe Ransom, Robert Penn Warren, and Cleanth Brooks-- provide a more regional and ideological context.

Nonetheless it must be said that to view Allen Tate through the narrow lens of Agrarianism (or, for that matter, to focus, as Underwood does, on Tate’s early preoccupation with Southern identity) is not to do him any favors.
Tate begins his preface to the Essays by distinguishing himself from the likes of Kenneth Burke (for whose systematization he professes respect even as he makes it looks rather ridiculous) as well as from the armies of academic scholars with their narrow fields of specialization.
Tate’s chief value as a critic, as a matter of fact, lies in his moments of revelation — sometimes perverse, sometimes obscure, often illuminating.

 The Violence of Allen Tate by David Yezzi
Tate’s young protégé Robert Lowell and his wife Jean Stafford were living with the Tates at the time, and the novelist Peter Taylor, among others, had joined the party for Easter weekend.
Tate’s star had risen as a poet and critic, and Lowell, already racked by mental distress as a Harvard undergraduate and on the lam from his father’s disapproval, came to pay his respects.
Tate saw on first meeting that Lowell was cracked, but invited him in anyway, thus beginning, as Underwood reminds us, “one of the most powerful and volatile mentor-protégé relationships in American literary history.” From their first conversation, Tate expounded his particular view of poetry.
