	John Crowe Ransom's Life and Career
		Ransom was appointed to an instructorship in Vanderbilt's English department in 1914 and, apart from service as an artillery officer in France during World War I, remained there until his departure for Kenyon College in Ohio in 1937.
		Ransom's mature style is to be found in the poems that compose Chills and Fever (1924) and Two Gentlemen in Bonds (1927), which appeared originally in the group's magazine, The Fugitive (1922-1925).

	John Crowe Ransom (1888-1974)
		Focusing on Ransom's use of language, his wit and irony, seems to be the best route to exploring his themes on a level that students will respond to.
		Ransom is so closely related to the metaphysical poets whom he knew so thoroughly that exploring this aspect of his style and form is particularly useful, as is any consideration of his juxtaposition of different levels of diction and his use of surprising words or word forms.
		Ransom can be productively compared to other Fugitive poets, especially to Allen Tate in his wit and irony; to metaphysical poets, both early and modern; to the tradition of the elegy; and to other writers who explore the same subject matter, for example,"Philomela" to The Waste Land.

		When I heard Ransom read “Blue Girls” in Sewanee, Tennessee, in the late 1950s, he mentioned in passing that “of course” we would know that the girls in the poem were students at the Ward Belmont School in Nashville, because of their blue uniforms.
		Unusual for Ransom, most of the rhymes are full, with only the well-chosen inexactness of “daddy” and “baby” lending the second stanza a rumpled intimacy, and the lovely “Janet”/ “upon it” of the next to last stanza adding to the poem’s sense of amused gravity.
		Ransom mixes modernist with old-fashioned country rhetoric to the extent that it is hard to tell which linguistic realm “put the poison” comes from.

	Filmtracks: Ransom (James Horner)
		Ransom: (James Horner/Billy Corgan) Based on the same screenplay by Richard Price and Alexander Ignon that inspired the 1956 Glenn Ford movie of the same name, Ron Howard's Ransom in late 1996 places the director in exactly the genre at which he excels the most: group tension.
		The most general similarities between Horner's Ransom and previous works would tie into Clear and Present Danger; the title theme for Ransom would follow the same patriotic rise of chords, performed by strings and piano with brass counterpoint that is almost identical.
		The second Horner cue on the album ("Delivering the Ransom") is almost perfect for study by a composition student, for it successively takes entire pages of music from four previous Horner scores and combines them into one ultimate self-rip-off.
