To Lytle, the agrarian way of life is the same as a sublime expression, a "ceremony" of living on the land.
Lytle makes an interesting observation that the antebellum farmers had their champions who were the planters.
However, Lytle's description of the daily life of the small farmer seems a bit idyllic, perhaps not the way it was, but the way it should to have been.

 Andrew Nelson Lytle Biography and Summary
Andrew Nelson Lytle (1902- December 12 1995) was an American poet, novelist, dramatist, and professor of literature.
35) [Lytle] must be seen in the context of an important and recognizable literary tradition, while Faulkner is by contrast an isolated figure, working independently and without much knowledge of or interest in the endeavors of his contemporaries, who were paradoxically creating a context and an audience for his singular achievements.
[The story of revenge related by Andrew Lytle in The Long Night is based on oral tales told in the Cumberland.] But when, in the cold light of morning, the teller faces the blank, white page, alone, with no friend present and no glass in the hand, all is different.

Andrew Nelson Lytle, a leading member of the Southern Agrarian movement, links the culture of the Old South to the culture of Western Europe, to, indeed, the foundations and continuities of Christian civilisation, and a belief that power is not the proper object of life, which lies, rather, in the proper ordering of man's affairs.
For Lytle, the "virtue of private property is not wealth but its capacity to resist Leviathan and to secure the 'peace of the family.'" Andrew Lytle received three Guggenheim fellowships, the Kenyon Review fellowship, and the Richard M. Weaver Award for Scholarly Letters, among many other awards.
Andrew Lytle, sometimes called the "Last Agrarian" is a universal thinker, meaning that each of his thoughts is designed to wrap around the universe of his subject.

 http://nbforrest.com/nbf_lytle.htm -- Lytle's Writings about General Forrest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
A rich quote on General Forrest and General Bragg may be found in Andrew Nelson Lytle's book: "Bedford Forrest and His Critter Company".
These words were written regarding outcome of the great insubordination incident in which Forrest spoke these words to his commanding officer, General Braxton Bragg in the presence of Forrest's doctor, Dr. Cowan.
It was Lytle's belief that this rift between Forrest and Bragg hurt the South's military capability enough that it became a major reason that the South ultimately lost the war, because Forrest could not play politics well enough to succeed under the likes of Gen. Bragg.

 Challenging Historiographical Conceptions and Nathan Bedford Forrest’s Place in Them
[74] Lytle cast Forrest as a “son of gods,” and a “hero who could save absolutely.” While Wyeth lamented that Forrest's authorities “were slow to appreciate…his wonderful ability,” Lytle argued that Forrest could have won the war.
[77] Dealing so heavily with agrarian topics, Lytle excuses Forrest's slave trading by noting that he was benign to his slaves and “burdened by appeals from them to be bought.” And while there were “extraordinary” casualties at Fort Pillow, Lytle blamed the insults of “former slaves” in the Union army as enraging the Confederates.
Lytle's biography of Forrest would influence acclaimed Southern writers like William Faulkner and Shelby Foote to adopt that caricature and embellish it further in future narratives.

 Southern Agrarians
Their manifesto was an attack on modern industrial America and posited an alternate direction based on a return to traditional American values.
The members of this group were Donald Davidson, Andrew Nelson Lytle, Herman Clarence Nixon, Frank Lawrence Owsley, John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, John Gould Fletcher, Robert Penn Warren, Lyle Lanier, John Donald Wade, Henry Blue Kline, and Stark Young.
The reputations of several members of this illustrious group were harmed during the 1930s by their association with the fascist Seward Collins, in whose magazine, The American Review, they published many articles critical of modernity.

 Metro Pulse/Gamut/The Old North
In his 1930 essay, "The Hind Tit," young Tennessee author Andrew Nelson Lytle wrote about the early automobile marketers' inroads into the South.
Lytle, a scholar of the Confederate South, described the automobile as the robber of the Southern man's independence.
The statement is, of course, a silly lie—the South is full of deviant styles and attitudes and always has been, maybe more so than most other regions—but the North dearly wants the South to believe there's only one attitude, because it would make things simpler for their marketers.
