Virginia J. Rock, Agrarian Themes and Ideas in Southern Writing

Born in 1923, Virginia J. Rock found herself the recipient of a doctoral scholarship at Minnesota in '54. While teaching a course on American Culture, she discovered I'll Take My Stand: the South and the Agrarian Tradition, written by the Twelve Southerners. There was a kinship, both in heart and thought, guiding her to choose it as her dissertation subject. She entered into correspondence with Donald Davidson, the man charged with keeping the group's collective memory, and in 1956, their paths converged at the Fugitives' Reunion held at Vanderbilt University.

Davidson provided Rock with his trove of unique materials, the unseen and unheard. This formed the bedrock for her deep dive into the Southern Agrarians and their symposium. Her dissertation: "The Making and Meaning of I'll Take My Stand: A Study in Utopian Conservatism, 1926-1939"

In the waning 1960s, Rock compiled a bibliography. Her reasoning was clear:  “to my knowledge, no bibliography on Agrarianism as a theme, a movement, or a philosophy has been published, although many lists have included sections concerned with economic or practical aspects of agriculture and the problems of the Southern farmer, while some have given attention to the subject through a focus on the group who called themselves the Southern Agrarians.” (Rock, Virginia J. “Agrarianism: Agrarian Themes and Ideas in Southern Writing.” The Mississippi Quarterly 21, no. 2 (1968): 145–56.)
