Biography of Malcolm Cowley
Malcolm Cowley was born Aug. 24, 1898, in Belsano, Pennsylvania. After living and attending school in and around Pittsburgh, he entered Harvard University at the age of 17. Sophomore year at Harvard, he dropped out briefly to join the American Field Service and served at the French front as a camion driver during World War I. In 1918 he returned to Harvard and graduated, living in the 1920's in both Paris and Greenwich Village, New York. After freelancing for a number of years he became the associate editor of The New Republic in 1929. Settling in Sherman, Connecticut with his second wife Muriel, Cowley continued to write for the rest of his life, succumbing to a heart attack at the age of 90 on Mar. 27, 1989.
"Cowley is best known as the literary chronicler of the "lost generation" in American literature (in particular in the authoritative Exile's Return, 1934; revised ed. 1951), as the literary editor of The New Republic in the turbulent political years 1930-1944, and as the critic who brought William Faulkner back into prominence (The Portable Faulkner, 1946). In a long career as critic, poet, editor, historian, publisher's advisor, writers' friend and confidant and, in general, "middleman" of letters, Cowley functioned at the heart of 20th century American literary, cultural and political life, in particular of the interbellum era and the cold war years. Cowley's multifaceted career almost seismographically reflected the major moments and movements of modern American literary history -- American Field Service in World War I, bohemian Greenwich Village and expatriate Paris in the 1920's, the embrace of radical politics in the 1930's, the anticommunist backlash in the 1940's and 1950's, and literary rehabilitation in the 1960's and 1970's when he became President of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. As an influential critic he helped to ensure the canonical status of the writers of his age group (Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Thornton Wilder, Cummings, Hart Crane, Dos Passos), while as publisher's scout for Viking Press (later Penguin) he opened doors to Kerouac, Larry McMurtry, and Ken Kesey. As literary historian he helped to enhance the stature of 20th century American literature both at home and abroad. He befriended (or antagonized) many of the significant writers, artists and intellectuals of his time: Edmund Wilson, Kenneth Burke, Allen Tate, Van Wyck Brooks, Alexander Calder foremost among them. A prolific letter writer, his correspondence reveals him as the spider in an extensive web of literary, political, and intellectual relations. With the exception of a selection of his correspondence with Kenneth Burke and his letters to William Faulkner, none of his letters have been published. The Newberry Library is the major repository of the letters of Malcolm Cowley: Cowley was an inveterate keeper of carbon copies of his own letters, and also carefully preserved most of his incoming correspondence. Consultation of Cowley's personal papers at the Newberry is the sine qua non of any edition of his letters." - Hans Bak, author of Malcolm Cowley : the formative years (Athens : University of Georgia Press, c1993).
