Hugh Davis is a lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He is the coeditor, with Michael Lofaro, of James Agee Rediscovered: The Journals of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and Other New Manuscripts and is the associate general editor of the projected ten-volume scholarly edition of The Works of James Agee.
“This book is thoroughly researched and documented, and its ideas and style will appeal to the general reader interested in Agee but also in a range of related disciplines. . . . Davis reveals the Agee we never fully knew.” —David Madden, Robert Penn Warren Professor of Creative Writing, Louisiana State University “Davis’s study is important because it brings our attention to Agee's political writing in the early 1930s, and to his key 1936 essay. It also sheds new light on the Agee-Evans partnership, which extended beyond their work on Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. A valuable addition to the on-going work on James Agee.” —Linda Wagner-Martin, Frank Borden Hanes Professor of English & Comparative Literature, UNC-Chapel Hill
