The Agrarians

The Agrarians were a group of Southern writers, poets, and thinkers active mainly in the 1930s, who valued traditional rural life and the culture of the American South. They emphasized the importance of land, community, and regional identity, often expressing concern about modern industrialization, urbanization, and technological change eroding these values. Their work sought to preserve Southern heritage and advocate for a way of life rooted in farming and local traditions, viewing these qualities as vital to the moral and social fabric of society.
