CHAPTER I THE CRITICS The 42nd Parallel, the first volume of the trilogy, U.S.A., was first published on February 19, 1930- It was followed by 1919 on March 10, 1932, and The Big Money on August 1, 1936. U.S.A., which combines these three novels, was issued on January 27, 1938. There is as yet no full-length critical and biographical study of Dos Passes, although one is now in the process of being edited for publication.^ His work has, however, attracted the notice of the leading reviewers and is discussed in those treatises dealing with the American novel of the twentieth cen­ tury.

Across multiple migrations and settlements from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, the Volga Germans’ self- constructed group identity served historically as a tool with which to navigate uncertain politics of belonging.

  • America Inc.: John Dos Passos'" USA" As Professional Writing Textbook
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 402 584 CS 215 592 AUTHOR Di Renzo, Anthony TITLE America Inc.: John Dos Passos' "USA" as Professional Writing Textbook. PUB DATE Mar 96 NOTE llp.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (47th, Milwaukee, WI, March 27-30, 1996). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.)(120) Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MFO1 /PCO1 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Business Communication; *Content Area Writing; Higher Education; Instructional Effectiveness; Literary History; *Literature Appreciation; Technical Writing; United States Literature; Writing Assignments IDENTIFIERS *Dos Passos (John); *Professional Writing; Writing Contexts ABSTRACT While working as a special consultant for General Mills in 1948, John Dos Passos wrote a report explaining the latest scientific research and technological advancements and how the postwar economy was affecting General Mills and the cereal market. General Mills, using a real writer for a corporate freelance, profited from Dos Passos' expertise and reputation. His "USA" trilogy was a blend of fiction, Forbes-style reportage, and economic analysis. As a history of American business from 1870 to 1935, "USA" is as exhaustive as it is colorful. For an instructor who uses it in a professional writing class, "USA" is an ideal primer for work-related writing. It can be read as an epic of early corporate communications, with its lessons divided between the practical and the promotional, and these business parables often translate into imaginative and effective writing exercises. Dos Passos becomes a model for resume composition with concrete specific words, factual details, and a strong narrative.

  • World War I in the Novels of John Dos Passos
    RICE UNIVERSITY World War I in the Novels of John Dos Passos Alice Jacob Allen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts Thesis Director's signature: Houston, Texas May, 1966 (JLSIUIAJOIOI&&&-' IWJJLY ABSTRACT John Dos Passos was one of a "war generation" of young novelists for whom World War I was a source of excitement and then disillusionment. The works of Heming¬ way, Cummings, and others illustrate this, hut for Dos Passos the war became a preoccupation which lasted through most of his writing career. Like many other young novelists, Dos Passos sax^ the war as an ambulance driver. This gave him direct personal experience with war, which he later utilized in his novels. This study examines three xvorks, First Encounter, Three Soldiers, and U.S.A., to show how Dos Passos reworked the materials of (his personal experience each time for a different effect and to a different purpose. First Encounter is a generally direct rendering of Dos Passos’ life as an ambulance driver. The central character, Martin Howe, is a sensitive and thoughtful observer much like the young Dos Passos. He embarks for France and the ambulance corps in search of adventure. During his period at the front he undergoes an initiation experience of uncertain nature, which gives him a more mature view of war. The novel is an immature and unsuccessful work, important only for the introduction of motifs which appear in later Dos Passos novels. In Three Soldiers Dos Passos imposes some sort of form on his material.

  • American Diplomatic Relations with Greece During the Last Part Of
    JOHN THOMAS MALAKASSES AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH GREECE DURING THE LAST PART OF WILSON’S ADMINISTRATION AND THE BEGINNING OF HARDING’S : THE FIRST ACTIVE AMERICAN INTERVENTION IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF GREECE William Appleman Williams, in an article published in «Science and Society»1 referring to the widely accepted thesis of American isolationism in the years immediately following the First World War, says: «...far from isolation, the foreign relations of the United States from 1920 through 1932 w'ere marked by express and extended invol­ vement with and intervention in the affairs of other nations of the world». Another student of American diplomacy, R. W. Leopold, cate­ gorically states that the era of so-called isolationism was actually «more complex than most glib generalizations...would suggest»2. One of the principal architects of the so-called «isolationist poli­ cies», Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachussetts, testified that the presidency of Harding was far from a period of withdrawal from world affairs: «Never [was there] a period when the United States [was] more active and its influence more internationally felt than between 1921 and 1924»3. Senator Lodge’s statement finds its true application in the case of the American involvement in internal Greek political developments, at the beginning of 1920. As a result of the November 4, 1920 parlia­ mentary elections, the liberal party of Venizelos, in powrer since the 1.

    Campaign Issues in the Presidential Election of 1908 Edgar A. Hornig* Though few historians would dispute the contention that all presidential elections are significant in the stream of United States history, the quest for a comprehensive discus- sion of the issues in the presidential election of 1908 within the rich storehouse of American historical literature is likely to be unrewarding. Edward Stanwood in his History of the Presidency from 1897 to 1916, for example, devotes seventy two pages to the election of 1908 but surprisingly offers almost no information regarding the issues.’ The best biog- raphies of William Jennings Bryan, who in 1908 headed the Democratic party’s ticket for the third and last time, con- stitute a barren source on this topic.2 Henry F. Pringle’s commendable two-volume biography of Republican candidate, William Howard Taft, though it refers to the bank, tariff, and publicity issues in passing, offers an incomplete treatment of the ~ubject.~Edgar Eugene Robinson’s The Evolution of American Political Parties presents an able comparison of the platforms and positions of the two major parties, but casts only a dim light upon the issues as they materialized during the ~ampaign.~A very recent and creditable study of the history of presidential elections, except for brief paragraphs on the trust and publicity issues, offers next to nothing.6 Even Mark Sullivan in his highly readable multi-volume study, Our Times, while he does provide a descriptive and illuminat- ing account of President Theodore Roosevelt’s role in the *Ed ar A.
