      ab: The article discusses the evolution of U.S. author Robert Penn Warren's literary identity in the mid-20th century following the popular success of his novel "All the King's Men." It is argued that despite his increased popularity in 1946, symbolized by the large sum he received for the publication of his short story "The Circus in the Attic" in the magazine "Cosmopolitan," Warren maintained a connection to literary Agrarianism and the New Criticism and Fugitive schools of literature. The influence of authors Allen Tate and Caroline Gordon on Warren's professional development is explained as well.
