Act Of Darkness
John Peale Bishop enjoyed a successful career as a writer and critic, though he is perhaps more known today for the friends he made during his lifetime. A poet, critic, and the author of both a novel and a collection of short fiction, Bishop travelled in circles that included Robert Penn Warren, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Allen Tate, and Edmund “Bunny” Wilson, whose contributions to North American literary criticism have become almost legendary. Indeed, it proved to be these close friends that worked to bring Bishop’s written work to an appreciative audience: Tate would edit Bishop’s Collected Poems and Wilson his Collected Essays, both of which were published in 1948, four years after Bishop’s death. Although its author was classified by literary scholars as a minor American poet, “The Hours,” Bishop’s impassioned elegy to Fitzgerald, was praised by critic Robert Lee White in the Dictionary of Literary Biography as “one of the finest of twentieth-century poems.”
