	Randall Jarrell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jarrell was a native of Nashville, Tennessee and graduated from Vanderbilt University.
		Jarrell followed critic John Crowe Ransom from Vanderbilt to Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where Jarrell wrote a masters thesis on the poetry of Alfred Edward Housman, and roomed with poet Robert Lowell.
		Jarrell also published a satiric novel, Pictures from an Institution in 1954 — drawing upon his teaching experiences at Sarah Lawrence College, which served as the model for the fictional Benton College — and several children's stories, among which The Bat-Poet (1964) and The Animal Family (1965) are considered prominent.

	The Academy of American Poets - Randall Jarrell
		Randall Jarrell was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1914.
		Jarrell's reputation as a poet was established in 1945, while he was still serving in the army, with the publication of his second book, Little Friend, Little Friend, which bitterly and dramatically documents the intense fears and moral struggles of young soldiers.
		Randall Jarrell was struck by a car and killed at the age of 51 in 1965, in a death that may or may not have been a suicide.

	About Randall Jarrell
		Jarrell's post-war appreciations of Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, and William Carlos Williams helped to establish their reputations as significant American poets; they also marked a change of emphasis in his criticism, in that he now mainly celebrated poets rather than awarded them demerits.
		Jarrell married his second wife, Mary von Schrader, in 1952, and for most of his remaining years taught, with notable success and pleasure, at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
		Jarrell will be remembered for his poems which, as Lowell claimed, rank with 'the best lyric poets of the past'; for his brilliantly engaging and dazzling criticism; and for his passionate defence, in what he termed 'the age of criticism', of writing and reading poems and fiction.

	BookRags: Randall Jarrell Biography
		Jarrell served on the faculties of Kenyon College (1937-1939), the University of Texas (1939-1942), Sarah Lawrence College (1946-1947), and, from 1947 until his untimely death in 1965, at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
		Like Jarrell's other children's books, the story's magic lies in part in a captured sense of the freshness and the strangeness of the world, here made vivid as the hunter introduces a creature from an alien "land," the mermaid, to his language and to his rustic way of life.
		Jarrell's choice of details--a cap of bluejay feathers for the boy, the lynx's dinner-table antics with a partridge, the mermaid's delight in the sound and power of a word--is masterful, and the tone of his story is leisurely, poetic, and often humorous.

	Dana Gioia Online - Randall Jarrell
		Jarrell proves herself so capable a writer—and so deeply interested in her subject—that the book is utterly engaging.
		Jarrell’s poetry and fiction is saturated with loneliness and isolation which characters can overcome only by constructing makeshift families.
		Jarrell strove to be a great poet and fell short, though he left a dozen or so enduring poems behind—no small achievement by any measure.

	Criticism and the Age - New York Times
		How charming to learn, for example, that as a child Jarrell modeled for the figure of Ganymede on the frieze of the kitschy replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, or that his education at Vanderbilt University was underwritten by a modest family fortune derived from the manufacture of Goo-Goo candy bars.
		Jarrell is not in the business of producing an expose; she glosses over or skips altogether unpleasant subjects such as her husband's divorce from his first wife (he was in fact still married, to all appearances happily, when he and Mary met and fell in love) and the terrible manic phases that preceded his death.
		Jarrell's discretion rather than resentful; she has succeeded in guarding her husband's privacy while effectively putting across a real sense of what he was -- or at least of his nicer side, for as Pritchard has shown, Jarrell certainly had his full share of narcissism.

	Randall Jarrell on Auden - PowerBookSearch!
		Jarrell's witty, pointed, and long-lost lectures trace the evolution of Auden's style from the late 1920s to the early 1950s and examine the ideas and contexts that animated his poetry, including psychoanalysis, leftist politics, and Christian theology.
		To read Randall Jarrell on W. Auden is to read the best-equipped of American critics of poetry of the past century on the best-equipped of its Anglo-American poets, and we rush to read, perhaps, less out of an academic interest in fair judgment than out of a spectator's love of virtuosity in flight.
		Jarrell's witty, pointed, and controversial lectures trace the evolution of Auden's style from the late 1920s to the early 1950s and examine the ideas and contexts that animated his poetry, including psychoanalysis, leftist politics, and Christian theology.

	Powell's Books - Randall Jarrell and His Age by
		Randall Jarrell (1914-1965) was the most influential poetry critic of his generation.
		Randall Jarrell and His Age situates the poet-critic among his peers -including Bishop, Lowell, and Arendt -in literature and cultural criticism.
		Jarrell (1914-65) is best known as the author of several anthology poems, a few charming children's books, and influential reviews, but Burt (English, Macalester College) portrays the American poet as more ambitious, more complex, and more important, describing how he prefigured elements of Continental philosophy, feminist psychology, and political theory.

	Bold Type: Essay by Randall Jarrell
		Lowell described Jarrell as "the most heart breaking poet of our time." It seems that most of the time it was Jarrell's own heart that was breaking.
		Jarrell's consideration of Donatello's David—a lithe giant-killer poised with foot on the head of Goliath, certainly not the imposingly large David of Michaelangelo—is loving in its detailed litany; such a light but erotic treatment brings continued definition to the statue upon which it reflects.
		The remainder of the recordings, with the exception of the excellent poem 'The Player Piano', is taken up with the three-part long poem 'The Lost World', which derives its name from the story of that title by Arthur Conan Doyle and the subsequent 1925 film directed by Harry O. Hoyt.
