- Title
‘DOG SILENCE’: ALLEN TATE’S STOIC WOLF.
- Authors
KUHN, JOSEPH
- Abstract
An analysis of the poems "The Cross" and "The Wolves" by Allen Tate is presented. It discusses how both poems use wolves to symbolize the pagan world while detailing Tate's conversion to Catholicism in 1950. Particular attention is given to Tate's portrayal of a wolf cub with an appetite for blood and possible influences to similar images dating back to the late 14th-century and "Discourse on the Origins and Foundations of Inequality Among Men" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
