About This Item
Sewanee is the reprint of a chapter out of William Alexander Percy's 1941 book, Lanterns on the Levee. It describes his education at the "genteel and inexpensive" University of the South in Sewanee.
The introduction is by Walker Percy, one of three brothers, adopted by their cousin, the poet/author William Alexander Percy himself. It provides an insightful, admiring and tantalising taste of the character of their cousin.
The reader is assured that his ability to communicate himself, to convey his authenticity, "carries over faithfully to the cold printed page" and so we move ahead with anticipation to learn of the early education of this remarkable man.
