DESCRIPTORS *Authors; *Biographies; *Educational Background; Popular Culture; Primary Sources; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS *Conversation; Educators; Historical Research; *Michener (James A); Pennsylvania (Doylestown); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener's early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family's poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener's experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

    Hemingway & Faulkner English 423, Fall 2016 Dr. David Swerdlow 405

    Hemingway & Faulkner English 423, Fall 2016 Dr. David Swerdlow 405 Thompson-Clark, x7345 Office Hours: MWF 11-12 and by appt. Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner are among the United States’ most celebrated writers. Nobel laureates and icons of the modernist era, these two writers may be most known for their easily recognizable and radically different styles that surface in everything they write. In many ways, however, they are kindred spirits in terms of theme and ambition. Consider their Nobel Prize acceptance speeches. (Please note that Hemingway, because of illness, was not able to give his speech himself. It was delivered by the U.S. Ambassador to Sweden.) Having no facility for speech-making and no command of oratory nor any domination of rhetoric, I wish to thank the administrators of the generosity of Alfred Nobel for this Prize. No writer who knows the great writers who did not receive the Prize can accept it other than with humility. There is no need to list these writers. Everyone here may make his own list according to his knowledge and his conscience. It would be impossible for me to ask the Ambassador of my country to read a speech in which a writer said all of the things which are in his heart. Things may not be immediately discernible in what a man writes, and in this sometimes he is fortunate; but eventually they are quite clear and by these and the degree of alchemy that he possesses he will endure or be forgotten. Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.

Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois to Dr. Clarence Edmonds Hemingway and Grace Hall Hemingway. The second of six children, Ernest enjoyed an adventurous boyhood, fishing and hunting with his father in the northern woods of Michigan. He attended Oak Park High School where he excelled in his classes, particularly English. He tried his hand at football and swimming, edited the school paper (the Trapeze), and contributed pieces to the school's literary magazine (the Tabula). After graduating high school, Ernest traveled to Kansas City and worked as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star. In 1918, he began service as an ambulance driver for the Italian army. On July 8, he was wounded at Fossalta on the Italian Piave while delivering chocolates, cigarettes, and postcards to soldiers. He married Elizabeth Hadley Richardson on September 3, 1921. The newlyweds soon entered the literary community of Paris, living off of Hadley's trust fund and Ernest's pay as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star. The 1920's were extremely productive writing years for Hemingway. Three Stories and Ten Poems was published in 1923, In Our Time in 1925. In 1926, The Torrents of Spring and the widely successful novel, The Sun Also Rises were published.

A*, Simon Fraser University, 1969 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English @ RAYPIOND HENRY PENNER, 1970 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY August, 1370 EXAMINING COMMITTEE APPROVAL Dr. S, Cooperman Senior Supervisor E, Alderson Examining Committee D. Callahan Examining Committee H. Gerber Examining Committee ( External Examiner) Name: Raymond Henry Penner Degree: Master of Arts Title of Thesis: The Avoidance of Complexity in The Old Man and The Sea August 4, 1970 Date Approved: - iii - ABSTRACT Heroes are a rare exception to thc generally compls- cent modern man; however, Ernest Hemjngway has attempted to revive the idea of the hero within the Twentieth Cen- tury. Possibly the intrigue of the hero in 14emingway1s - works arises partly from being so historically out of context. My thesis is an investigation into Santiago of The Old Nan and The Sea as a heroic figure. The investi- gation is primarily in terms of experience and manhood and I examine the areas of sexuality, emotion, isolation and action. Since there is a metaphysical continuity of the treatment of sex throughout the Herningway canon, I have examined Santiago's sexuality to determine whether or not this continuity is broken. Apparently Hemingway could not escape sex as one of the major problems of man's existence and therefore Santiago's sexuality is seen as a metaphor. The determination revealed by Santiago in his isolation is not as much a continuation of a theme in Hemingwayls writing as it is a culmination of a desire to I+.

    Electronic Green Journal Volume 1, Issue 41, April 2018 Review: Citizen Steinbeck: Giving Voice to the People By Robert McParland Reviewed by Ryder W. Miller New York, NY, USA McParland, Robert. Citizen Steinbeck: Giving Voice to the People. Lanham, MD, USA: Rowman & Littlefield, 2016. 259 pp. ISBN: 9781442268302, hardback. US$40.00; alkaline paper; also available as an e-book. Citizen Steinbeck: Giving Voice to the People provides a wonderful and fascinating overview of the life and literary achievement of John Steinbeck (1902-1968). English Professor Robert McParland tells a detailed story about Steinbeck’s life which begins in Salinas, California, as well as his struggle to be a successful writer, his days at work and in the war, and his literary success and achievements. As a writer, Steinbeck went beyond being a regionalist to become one of America’s most famous writers; he won a Pulitzer Prize, The National Book Award, and the Nobel Prize for Literature. He also had an international perspective having been part of the American military struggles overseas and having done some travel writing and setting some of his stories in other countries. Steinbeck began as a reporter but went on to write some stories with mythological elements as well as having characters that believed in witchcraft and astrology. His novels were set in the land with lush descriptions of the outdoors. Salinas, CA was part of the farming community and Steinbeck wrote of their times and struggles. Steinbeck also wrote about some of the animals in these landscapes and one could argue that he also gave them and the land a voice.

Seelye Steinbeck Studies, Volume 15, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 41-45 (Article) Published by The Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/stn.2004.0022 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/172420 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] UNLIKELY TRANSFUSIONS: WISE BLOOD AND THE GRAPES OF WRATH JOHN SEELYE THE LIST OF AMERICAN AUTHORS whose novels are in- debted for situations and materials (and popularity) to the novels and stories of John Steinbeck is impressive, from Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s The Yearling and Mary O’Hara’s My Friend Flicka. I would like to add Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood, a text clearly inspired by the surreal ironies of Nathaniel West and one that would seem to be whole worlds apart from the re- alistic, empathetic zone created by Steinbeck. Indeed, I had been teaching both Wise Blood and Of Mice and Men in an un- dergraduate course on the novella for a year or two before the possibility of a connection became clear, not with the story of Lennie and George but with the much more ambitious epic of the Joad family. Tom Joad’s return home from a stretch in prison for manslaughter is a memorable beginning for Steinbeck’s novel, starting with his angry response to a truck driver’s curiosity and ending as he stands in front of the Joad house, abandoned in the wake of the great dust storms of the Depression years in Okla- homa.

  • Ernest Hemingway Global American Modernist

    Ernest Hemingway Global American Modernist

    Ernest Hemingway Global American Modernist Lisa Tyler Sinclair Community College, USA Iconic American modernist Ernest Hemingway spent his entire adult life in an interna- tional (although primarily English-speaking) modernist milieu interested in breaking with the traditions of the past and creating new art forms. Throughout his lifetime he traveled extensively, especially in France, Spain, Italy, Cuba, and what was then British East Africa (now Kenya and Tanzania), and wrote about all of these places: “For we have been there in the books and out of the books – and where we go, if we are any good, there you can go as we have been” (Hemingway 1935, 109). At the time of his death, he was a global celebrity recognized around the world. His writings were widely translated during his lifetime and are still taught in secondary schools and universities all over the globe. Ernest Hemingway was born 21 July 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, also the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most famous modernist architects in the world. Hemingway could look across the street from his childhood home and see one of Wright’s innovative designs (Hays 2014, 54). As he was growing up, Hemingway and his family often traveled to nearby Chicago to visit the Field Museum of Natural History and the Chicago Opera House.
