This article presents information on the book "The Fathers," by Allen Tate. The subject matter of this book, reportedly, is in its limitations comparable to another popular book of Tate, "Looking Backward." Tate's approach to his Virginia family in pre-Civil War, and war time is psychologically entirely contemporary. There are no moral values, only an effort to understand and report the inner workings of the minds and emotions of his characters. The main character in this fiction is a. violent and complex young man. There is an almost medieval tournament, in which the hero wins his bride.
