Walter Sullivan (novelist)

Walter Laurence Sullivan (born in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 4, 1924, died in Nashville on August 15, 2006)〔(Novelist and short story writer Walter Sullivan dead at 82 ) Retrieved December 10, 2013.〕 was a southern novelist and literary critic. He published a number of works and was an English professor at Vanderbilt University for more than fifty years. He wrote chiefly about the literature, the society, and the values of the south. He was a founding charter member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers.
==Life==
Walter Sullivan was born in Nashville. His father died three months after he was born, and Walter, an only child, spent his childhood living with his mother and various aunts, uncles, and grandparents.〔Walter Sullivan, ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'', University of Missouri Press, Columbia, 2006, pp. 1-26.〕 After attending local schools, he began his studies at Vanderbilt University in Nashville in 1941, studying creative writing under Donald Davidson.〔Sullivan, ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'', p. 49.〕 He served in the Marines during World War II but the war ended before he was assigned to combat. He resumed his studies at Vanderbilt and graduated in 1947.
He married Jane Harrison and they moved to Iowa City, where he earned an MFA at the University of Iowa, studying under Andrew Nelson Lytle.〔Sullivan, ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'', p. 113.〕 He then returned to Vanderbilt and taught in the English department there from 1949 until his retirement in 2001.〔Sam Pickering, "A Golden Book", ''Sewanee Review'', Fall 2005, pp. xciii-c.〕
He deplored the change in English studies from the close study of the great texts to the dominance of various forms of theory, and was one of the founders of the Fellowship of Southern Writers in 1987. "We (members of the FSW ) believed that language could accurately communicate an author's intentions and that truth or an aspect thereof was available to those who were sufficiently gifted to find it. But ... our beliefs and our writings, our very selves, were anathema to a large part of the literary world."〔Sullivan, ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'', pp. 166-67.〕 He gave up lecturing on British and American fiction and spent the later decades of his career teaching only fiction writing.〔Sullivan, ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'', pp. 145.〕
An Episcopalian, he became disenchanted with the direction the Church was taking, and helped form the Society for the Preservation of the Book of Common Prayer in the 1960s. In the late 1970s he and Jane joined the Catholic Church.〔Sullivan, ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'', pp. 148-56.〕
He and Jane had a daughter and two sons.
