Processing Information: Processed by Michael Stone RLIN ID: NYCR89 - A794 BIOGRAPHY Isidore Schneider (1896 - 1976) was born in the Western Ukraine. His family emigrated when he was six and their struggles and privations engendered the communist attitudes that marked much of his early work. His literary career was launched in the "little" magazines of the early twenties such as The Dial and the The Transition. His earliest book publication was in the first edition of The American Caravan. His work appeared in many American literary anthologies alongside some of the finest writers of prose and verse in the early twentieth century. His long and diverse career included an editorship at New Masses, as well as work in newspaper publishing and work as a publisher's advertising manager. SCOPE AND CONTENT Manuscripts and correspondence. There are numerous manuscripts and typescripts of his poems, novels and short prose. There are also hundreds of typed book-reports done for various book clubs and publishers. Included are files of newspaper and magazine clippings related to Schneider. Among his correspondence are many prominent members of the literary world during the first half of the twentieth century, e.g. Conrad Aiken, Theodore Dreiser, Ernest Hemingway, Sherwood Anderson, Lillian Hellman and other notables.
