Excerpt from The Spyglass: Views and Reviews, 1924-1930 The present volume is a selection of book reviews and comments written by Donald Davidson for the Nashville Tennessean from February 4, 1924, to November 30, 1930. Most of the items appeared in the feature column of a book page edited by Davidson for the Tennessean during those years. It has often been said to be the best literary page ever published in the South. Probably of greater significance, however, is its close connection with the Southern literary renascence. In speaking of the relationship of the Fugitive and Agrarian movements, recent commentators have noted that this change of interest from poetry to social criticism occurred during the brief period between the last number of The Fugitive (december 1925) and the publication of I'll Take My Stand The record of this change can be traced in the Tennessean's literary page. Davidson him self puts the matter thus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
