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.

As Eric McMillan points out: “Willa Cather is one of those quietly achieving American writers, whose works are quietly appreciated in the shadow of the era’s Great Writers … but going on a century later, are still being quietly appreciated when many of the once great ones are no longer read” (§1, 2013-05-02). From the time of the westward pioneering, America’s rise to world power, the Depression to the Second World War, Cather lived through the most significant time of American history. However, her works are centered on Nebraska and the American Southwest. She herself grew up in Nebraska, thus the pioneers and their lives in the area became a main source of inspiration to her. Cather had a strong emotional tie to her childhood and she seemed to think that childhood is the best years of a person’s life.

  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.

  • Van Wyck Brooks and the Progressive Frame of Mind 30
    van wyck brooks and the progressive frame of mind peter w. dowel I It has long been recognized that Van Wyck Brooks's America's Coming-of-Age (1915) and its companion piece Letters and Leadership (1918) captured the insurgent mood of a young generation of intellec­ tuals who themselves came of age with an outburst of critical and artistic activity in the years just prior to America's entry into World War I.1 To those of his contemporaries espousing a literature in touch with the wellsprings of modern American life, Brooks gave, as one of them put it, "an afflatus inchoate, vague, sentimental," but one that brought vital energy and creative focus to their cause.2 Although his demand for a truly national literature growing out of a healthy national culture was hardly new, harking back to Emerson and Whitman among others, Brooks's vigorous restatement of this theme expressed particularly the concerns of the present moment: a belief in self-expression as an ideal of personal growth and the basis for a flourishing artistic tradition; a sense of social responsibility, often tinged by some form of political radicalism; an emphasis on freedom, experiment and creativity in all phases of the national life, and especially a youthful rejection of all that smacked of the "old America." The diverse ideas and interests of Randolph Bourne, Floyd Dell, Max Eastman, Waldo Frank, Walter Lippmann, John Reed, Paul Rosenfeld and Harold Stearns, to name but a few, indelibly stamped what Brooks called "the newness." Having come into their own at the high-water mark of the Progressive era, these young men felt that the current reform agitation had fallen far short of creating a new social and cultural order.
