Wald, Chair Professor Marjorie Levinson Professor Patricia Smith Yaeger Associate Professor Megan L. Sweeney For graduate students on the left ii Acknowledgements Indebtedness is the overriding condition of scholarly production and my case is no exception. I‘d like to thank first John Callahan, Donn Zaretsky, and The Ralph and Fanny Ellison Charitable Trust for permission to quote from Ralph Ellison‘s archival material, and Donadio and Olson, Inc. for permission to quote from Nelson Algren‘s archive. Alan Wald‘s enthusiasm for the study of the American left made this project possible, and I have been guided at all turns by his knowledge of this area and his unlimited support for scholars trying, in their writing and in their professional lives, to negotiate scholarship with political commitment. Since my first semester in the Ph.D. program at Michigan, Marjorie Levinson has shaped my thinking about critical theory, Marxism, literature, and the basic protocols of literary criticism while providing me with the conceptual resources to develop my own academic identity. To Patricia Yaeger I owe above all the lesson that one can (and should) be conceptually rigorous without being opaque, and that the construction of one‘s sentences can complement the content of those sentences in productive ways. I see her own characteristic synthesis of stylistic and conceptual fluidity as a benchmark of criticism and theory and as inspiring example of conceptual creativity.

  • Representations of Women and Aspects of Their Agency
    REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN AND ASPECTS OF THEIR AGENCY IN MALE AUTHORED PROLETARIAN EXPERIMENTAL NOVELS FROM THIRTIES AMERICA By Anoud Ziad Abdel-Qader Al-Tarawneh A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of English, Drama, & American and Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the layered representations of women, their agency, and their class awareness in four leftist experimental novels from 1930s America: Langston Hughes’ Not Without Laughter, Jack Conroy’s The Disinherited, John Dos Passos’ The Big Money, and John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. It argues that the histories these novels engage, the forms they integrate, and the societal norms they explore enable their writers to offer a complex, distinct, sense of female representation and agency. All four novels present stereotyped or sentimentalised portrayals of women from the traces of early twentieth-century popular culture, a presentation which the novels’ stories explore through nuanced, mobilised, or literally as well as figuratively politicised images of women.

  • Federal Writers' Project
    Federal Writers' Project From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Poster advertising a Federal Writers' Project publication. The Federal Writers' Project (FWP) was a United States federal government project to fund written work and support writers during the Great Depression . It was part of the Works Projects Administration , a New Deal program. It was one of four New Deal arts programs known collectively as Federal One . FWP was particularly charged with employing writers, editors, historians, researchers, art critics, archaeologists, geologists and cartographers. Some 6,600 individuals were employed by the FWP. Established in July 27 1935, the Writers' Project operated under journalist and theatrical producer Henry Alsberg , and later John D. Newsome , and produced local histories, oral histories, ethnographies, children's books and 48 state guides to America (plus Alaska Territory , Puerto Rico and D.C. )—the American Guide Series publications contained detailed histories of each state with descriptions of every city and town. In every state the personnel comprised a small non-relief staff of editors and a much larger group of fieldworkers drawn from local rolls; many of these had never graduated high school, but most had formerly held white collar jobs of some sort. Among the thousands who worked on the project were Conrad Aiken , Nelson Algren , Nathan Asch , Arna Bontemps , John Cheever , Kenneth Rexroth , Studs Terkel , and Richard Wright . Blakey (2005) estimates that at any one time the Indiana office had fewer than 150 men and women on the payroll. Fieldworkers made about eighty dollars a month, working twenty to thirty hours a week. A majority were women.

  • The Federal Writers' Project: a Guide to Materials Held at the British Library
    The Federal Writers’ Project: A guide to materials held at the British Library Compiled by Jean Petrovic Eccles Centre for American Studies 2013 The Federal Writers’ Project: A guide to materials held at the British Library CONTENTS: Introduction American Guide Series Other Publications The Federal Writers’ Project: a bibliography Introduction The Federal Writers’ Project (FWP) was established by President Franklin D Roosevelt on 27 July 1935 as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). As with so many of the New Deal programmes, the remit of the FWP – and its sister projects in art, music and theatre, known collectively as Federal One – was totally unprecedented. Prior to Federal One, the so-called ‘Alphabet Agencies’ of Roosevelt’s Administration had focused their relief upon the provision of jobs to blue-collar workers in large-scale public works projects, primarily in construction and conservation. Yet, white-collar workers were not immune to the devastating impact of the Depression. In early 1935 the Writers Union and the Unemployed Writers Association demanded government action. Six months later, the four relief projects for those qualified in the fields of writing, art, music and drama were announced. Whilst the FWP was primarily created to provide economic relief, its highly ambitious first Director, Henry Alsberg, also regarded it as a means by which to vividly document America’s rapidly changing cultural landscape. Alongside the permanent staff in Washington DC, each state employed an editorial team responsible for hiring local field workers able to prove that they were on relief; at its peak, the Project employed more than 7,500 people.

  • Radical Regionalism in the American Midwest, 1930-1950
    1 Geographies of (In)Justice: Radical Regionalism in the American Midwest, 1930-1950 A dissertation presented by Brent Garrett Griffin to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2015 2 Geographies of (In)Justice: Radical Regionalism in the American Midwest, 1930-1950 A dissertation presented by Brent Garrett Griffin ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April, 2015 3 ABSTRACT In the decades bracketing World War II, a group of Midwestern radical writers promoted a new form of radical literary expression—proletarian regionalism—both to counter burgeoning right-wing extremism in the United States and to renew a spirit of grass-roots democracy, egalitarianism and place-based working class action. For Meridel Le Sueur, Jack Conroy, Nelson Algren, and Mari Sandoz, four of the most regionally conscious and committed writers of the period and the focus of “Geographies of (In)Justice,” proletarian regionalism was a vehicle for interpreting localized social, economic, and environmental injustices and for making connections between these places and larger-scale processes of capitalist accumulation. By tracing regional discourses through a broad range of forms, including social realism, little magazines, conference presentations, fictional autobiography, and political allegory, this recuperative literary history demonstrates that proletarian regionalism appropriated many forms in an attempt to interpret and represent an affective geography of capitalism and capture the socio-spatial experiences of people struggling to live and work in the region.
