    DEMONIZING UNIONS: RELIGIOUS RHETORIC IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN STRIKE NOVEL A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David Michael Cosca August 2019 © David Michael Cosca DEMONIZING UNIONS: RELIGIOUS RHETORIC IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN STRIKE NOVEL David Michael Cosca, Ph. D. Cornell University 2019 Demonizing Unions uncovers the significance of a Biblical idiom in American novels portraying violent labor conflicts from the 1910s to the 1930s. I reveal the different ways that Upton Sinclair’s King Coal and The Coal War, Mary Heaton Vorse’s Strike!, and Ruth McKenney’s Industrial Valley employ a Biblical motif both to emphasize the God-like power of Capital over society, and to critique an emergent socio-political faith in business power. The texts I examine demonstrate how it was clear to industrialists in the early 20th century that physical violence was losing its efficacy. Therefore, much of the brunt of the physical conflict in labor struggles could be eased by waging a war of ideas to turn public opinion into an additional, ultimately more powerful, weapon against the potential of organized labor. I argue that in these texts, the besmearing of the discontented workers as violent dupes of “outside agitators,” rather than regular folks with economic grievances, takes on Biblical proportions. In turn, these authors utilize Biblical stories oriented around conceptions of power and hierarchy to illuminate the potential of ordinary humans to effect their own liberation.

Fields and Jerome Chodorov. Based on the stories of “The New Yorker” writer Ruth McKenney, it was to be a ve- hicle for the great stage and screen star Rosalind Russell. But there was a catch. Because of Miss Russell’s schedule, they had to go into rehearsal in 5 weeks. They needed a composer. Who could do it in such a short time?? They knew of a long- shot.

The Shaw Festival’s mandate also includes: • Uncovered Gems – digging up undiscovered theatrical treasures, or plays which were considered major works when they were written but which have since been unjustly neglected • American Classics – we continue to celebrate the best of American theatre • Musicals – rarely-performed musicals from the period of our mandate are rediscov- ered and returned to the stage WHAT MAKES THE • Canadian Works – to allow us to hear and promote our own stories, our own points SHAW SPECIAL of view about the mandate period.

  • Wonderful Town
    Wonderful Town Book by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green Based on the play My Sister Eileen by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov and the stories by Ruth McKenney Directed by Roger Hodgman, Musical Direction by Paul Sportelli “Why, oh why, oh why, oh, Why did I ever leave Ohio?” This story of two sisters packing up everything they’ve got and moving from Columbus, Ohio to the bright lights of New York City, has been a long enduring classic. It began life as a series of short stories published in The New Yorker in the 1930s. Ruth McKenney, an Ohio journalist, had moved to New York with her sister to be a serious writer. But it was her funny stories about life with her beautiful sister and their adventures in Greenwich Village for which she became famous. They were eventually collected as a book in 1938, My Sister Eileen, and it became a best-seller. The popularity of these stories went on to spawn a play, a movie, a television show and, in 1953, the musical Wonderful Town. The play opens on a group of tourists making their way through Greenwich Village, New York. The Tour Guide describes the area: “Ever since 1870, Greenwich Village has been the Bohemian cradle of painters, writers, actors etc., who’ve gone on to fame and fortune. Today in 1935, who knows what future greats live in these twisting alleys.” We’re introduced to the local artists and general ‘village types’, including the painter and landlord Mr Appopolous, “The Wreck”, an unemployed football player, and various dancers, radicals and free-spirited characters who exclaim, “Life is mad! Life is sweet!” And into this chaos run Ruth and Eileen Sherwood – they’re running because a kid has just stolen Ruth’s beloved typewriter and she’s not giving up on it.

In 1935, sisters Eileen (Chilina Kennedy) and Ruth (Lisa Horner), young and full of dreams, arrive in New York City fresh off the bus from Columbus, Ohio. Landing in Greenwich Village, they encounter a lively world full of artists, bohemians and all manner of colourful characters. The next day, the girls set out to conquer the city. Ruth is a writer, Eileen is an actress and both struggle to make their mark. But to Ruth, things always seem a bit easier for the beautiful Eileen. Seen through the eyes of these two young hopefuls, New York has never seemed more charming, vibrant or fun.
