During the James Meredith crisis Harrington gained a reputation as a liberal at the University of Mississippi. Though perhaps not a high-profile figure, Harrington actively and publicly supported integration and the causes of the civil rights movement.
In 1964, Harrington was presented with the Henry H. Bellamann Foundation Award for his “outstanding qualifications as a writer of fiction and teacher of creative writing.”
Harrington and author/academic Robert Canzoneri were Southern and Managing editors respectively, for Per/Se, a quarterly literary magazine, published from 1966 to 1968/69.
Harrington completed his doctoral dissertation, The Work of Thomas Beer: Appraisal and Bibliography, in English at the University of Mississippi in 1968.
Harrington’s first published writing was the short story Souvenir, which appeared in the 1953 issue of the journal Today’s Woman. Later he was to produce 13 short stories and numerous reviews and essays, published in the Saturday Evening Post, Collier’s, Shenandoah, Delta Review, Southern Review, Yale Review, Faulkner Studies, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. Harrington’s only novel produced under his own name, The Prisoners, was published in 1956. Harrington’s father had been a chaplain at Parchman, the Mississippi penal institution, and, like many of Harrington’s short stories, The Prisoners deals with men facing brutal penal conditions in the South. Under the pseudonym Gilbert Terrell, Harrington had three mass-market paperback novels published: Willa and Missy in 1961, and Lily in 1964. Other writings of Harrington’s included the script for the film Faulkner’s Mississippi: Land into Legend, and the book and lyrics for The Battle of Harrykin Creek, a musical comedy based on two of Faulkner’s short stories. He also selected and arranged passages for dramatic readings, called Voices from Yoknapatawpha.
The annual Faulkner Conference (sometimes called the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference at the University) began in 1974 and is ongoing. The purpose of the conference is to examine themes in the work of William Faulkner, through lectures, panel discussions, readings and dramatic interpretations. Social events and Oxford tours are also offered. The Faulkner Conference is generally considered to be the leading event for Faulkner analysis, and it draws scholars, critics and writers from around the world. Harrington was director of the conference from its inception to 1993. In conjunction with this event, the University of Mississippi offers the Eudora Welty Creative Writing Awards to winners of an annual high school writing competition.
The annual Southern Literary Festival (SLF) was founded at Blue Mountain College in 1937. Membership is made up of colleges and universities in the South. The festival celebrates the writing of literature, and offers an undergraduate writing competition as one of its most publicized events. Harrington served three terms as president of the SLF Association, and was in charge of its programs in 1965, 1978 and 1987.
In 1964, academics Walter Allen, John Gassner and Stephen Spender reversed their decisions to appear at the Southern Literary Festival after being notified by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee that the audience would be segregated. They were publicly vilified for doing so, most notably by Paul Flowers of the Commercial Appeal. Harrington initiated and coordinated their written responses to the criticism. These were published in The Mississipian, in order to counteract the pro-segregationist arguments.
In 1965, the Southern Literary Festival was scheduled to be held at the University of Mississippi, with Harrington presiding. Tougaloo College, a racially integrated institution, applied for membership of the SLF Association at this time, and Harrington elicited member responses to this, after a lengthy process of negotiation and mailings. Despite some opposition from a minority of members, Tougaloo College was admitted, and the Association became integrated, although the 1965 Festival was marred by an incident of racial violence, resulting in property damage and the early withdrawal of the Tougaloo College delegation.
Evans Harrington died in Dec, 1997.
