In funding these literary programs, the Virginia Foundation is carrying out a 10-vear commitment to working with public libraries to establish humanities programs for adults. Its core is the humanities—the discovery, interpretation and criticism of literature.
The theme of the coming series is explained by Allen Tate in The New Provincialism: “With the War of 19141913, the South reentered the world—but gave a backward glance as it stepped over the border: that backward glance gave us the Southern renascence, a literature conscious of the j)ast in the present.”
And the Foundation feels that libraries, a natural place for seminars and public discussions, give citizens an opportunity to discover the best books and the best ideas.
To register for the series interested persons may call the Fauquier Library in Warrenton at 347-3401 or the Thomas Balch Library in Leesburg at 777-0323.
