He concludes his "Remarks on Southern Religion" by stating that the way the Southerner can "take hold of his tradition" is by violence. In a group of essays that has eschewed a direct, political solution to the damaging cultural effects of industrialism, Tate challenges his confederates to be activists. He writes at the end of his essay: "Since he cannot bore from within, he has left the sole alternative of boring from without. This method is political, active, and, in the nature of the case, violent and revolutionary." How are we to interpret Tate’s surprising conclusion?

The scope of the historical level of her novels is unequalled by any other American novelist. Seven of her ninenovels use American history from before the Revolutionary War until after World War 11, especially periods of great national significance, as their enveloping action: in Green Centuries (1941) she imagines the westward movement around the time of the American Revolution and reflects upon the frontier experience further in The Women on the Porch (1944); the antebellum and postbellum South are the enveloping action in Penhally (1931), and war itself is depicted both in Penhally and in None Shall Look Back (1937). The period of the lost generation just after World War I is also considered in Penhally, and the depression years provide the agrariansettingof The GardenofAdonis(1937); urban and rural life duringand after World War I1 figure importantly in The Women on the Porch, Thestrange Children (1951), and The Malefactors (1956). In all of these novels, her central concern is with the hero as he manifests himself in the circumstances of history, but also with the pattern present in all Western epics, from the lliad on: the hieros garnos, or sacred marriage, as a large paradigm for the tensions in being itself.
