   Extractions: John Dos Passos JOHN DOS PASSOS, WITNESS TO OUR TIMES Written for the New Hampshire Humanities Council 1998 Chautauqua Program, "Beginning the 'American Century'" by Richard Johnson , Chautauqua Scholar, Dos Passos Interpreter, and Professor of American History, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona "Where do I belong? To whom do I owe allegiance? What is my country? Where is my home?" These fundamental questions are basic questions of identity which emerge among people when society undergoes rapid, fundamental change. The questions are social as well as personal, for they raise concerns about the nature of this society, its hopes and its reality. Such questions appeared at the beginning of this century in America. They continue to resonate even today among a large number of Americans who have lived in this century of rapid and startling change. Such questions were essential to the twentieth century personal and political odyssey of American novelist John Dos Passos. At one point called the greatest writer of his time, Dos Passos deserves our attention for his artistic achievements. But perhaps more important for us today are his efforts to answer the nearly universal questions which erupted anew in this "American Century." The first four decades of this century witnessed an enormous upheaval in social, economic and political events. In 1896, when Dos Passos was born in Chicago, America was still largely rural and just beginning to experience the first shock waves of a vast, industrial transformation. The horse was king, while Henry Ford's ubiquitous automobile remained a distant future dream. The most prominent African-American leader of his time, Booker T. Washington, had just given a public address in Atlanta, counseling members of his race to be humble, accept their inferior place in society, and concentrate on gaining technical skills rather than demanding equality.

   Extractions: John Dos Passos per Daniel Aaron from: Writers on the Left by Daniel Aaron CHAPTER FIFTEEN THE ADVENTURES OF JOHN DOS PASSOS (pp. 343-353) UNTIL HIS REVIEW of The Adventures of a Young Man , Cowley had been one of the most intelligent and appreciative critics of John Dos Passos. He had read each volume of his trilogy U.S.A. with sympathetic attention although the bleakness of Dos Passos's "final message" clashed with Cowley's mid-thirties optimism about the out- come of the class struggle. "For all their scope and richness," Cowley wrote, "they fail to express one side of contemporary life the will to struggle ahead, the comradeship in struggle, the consciousness of new man and new forces continually rising. Although we may be a beaten nation, the fight is not over." Nevertheless, he ranked Dos Passos among the few serious novelists of the times. Three years later, only a few months before Cowley himself would break with the movement, he pronounced Dos Passos's novel of the Spanish Civil War his weakest book since One Man's Initiation (1921). This judgment, he confessed, "may have been affected by disagreement with his political ideas," but he found the novel tired and derivative as well as factually unreliable and its conception of human motives low and mean-spirited. In the summer of 1939, the Spanish Civil War was already a bitter memory, but for a few months it had been the one conflict on which Left radicals of almost every persuasion could agree. It touched "people of my sort," Cowley wrote, more deeply than "any other international event since the World War and the Russian revolution." To him, as to most American intellectuals, Communist and non-Communist, it seemed to lay bare without ambiguity "two systems of life": Landlords, the Church, the Military and Finance representing class privilege and intolerance; and the aspiring workers and peasants, artists and poets guiding "a poverty-stricken people toward more knowledge, more freedom, more of everything." If the Republican government lost to the Franco-Hitler-Mussolini coalition, then fascist-inspired insurrections "might be repeated in Czechoslovakia, in France, in all the free nations of Europe."

   Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors John Dos Passos (1896-1970) Index Like Sinclair Lewis , John Dos Passos began as a left-wing radical but moved to the right as he aged. Dos Passos wrote realistically, in line with the doctrine of socialist realism. His best work achieves a scientific objectivism and almost documentary effect. Dos Passos developed an experimental collage technique for his masterwork U.S.A. , consisting of The 42nd Parallel (1930), 1919 (1932), and The Big Money (1936). This sprawling collection covers the social history of the United States from 1900 to 1930 and exposes the moral corruption of materialistic American society through the lives of its characters. Dos Passos's new techniques included "newsreel" sections taken from contemporary headlines, popular songs, and advertisements, as well as "biographies" briefly setting forth the lives of important Americans of the period, such as inventor Thomas Edison, labor organizer Eugene Debs, film star Rudolph Valentino, financier J.P. Morgan, and sociologist Thorstein Veblen. Both the newsreels and biographies lend Dos Passos's novels a documentary value; a third technique, the "camera eye," consists of stream of consciousness prose poems that offer a subjective response to the events described in the books.

8. Short Biography
   dos passos, john Roderigo (18961970),  
   http://www.uib.no/ped/dospassos.html
   
   Extractions: Dos Passos, John Roderigo (1896-1970) American writer, whose bitter, highly impressionistic novels, attacking the hypocrisy and materialism of the U.S. between the two world wars, influenced several generations of American and European novelists. Manhattan Transfer (1925), a panoramic view of life in New York City between 1890 and 1925, became immensely successful. Containing fragments of popular songs, news headlines, stream-of-consciousness monologues, and naturalistic fragments from the lives of a horde of unrelated characters, this powerful novel determined the style of the best of his later novels. His trilogy U.S.A. (collected in 1938), in the same style, expanded his panorama to encompass the entire nation. Comprising The 42nd Parallel (1930), 1919 (1932), and The Big Money (1936), the trilogy depicts the growth of American materialism from the 1890s to the Great Depression of the early 1930s. After the publication of U.S.A., Dos Passos underwent a change of philosophy; previously radical in outlook, his philosophy became increasingly conservative. At the same time his writing became less impassioned and his style more direct and simple. He continued to produce a great deal of work, including several novels, books of personal observation, history, biography, and travel. The best-received was Midcentury (1961), a novel in which he returned to the kaleidoscopic technique of his earlier successes to depict a panoramic view of postwar America. At the time of his death, on September 28, 1970, in Baltimore, Maryland, Dos Passos had finished most of a novel, The Thirteenth Chronicle. Posthumously published were Easter Island (1971), a travel book, and The Fourteenth Chronicle (1973), his diaries and letters.

    Extractions: Dos Passos, John Roderigo Dos Passos, John Roderigo, , American novelist, b. Chicago, grad. Harvard, 1916. His first successful novel, Three Soldiers (1921), belonged to the group of socially conscious novels of disillusionment that appeared after World War I. With Manhattan Transfer (1925) his major creative period began. Intertwining accounts of a succession of unrelated characters, this novel presents a composite picture of the meaninglessness and decadence of the life of the typical New Yorker of the early 1920s. In his finest achievement, the trilogy U.S.A. (1937), composed of The 42nd Parallel (1932), and The Big Money (1936), he developed the kaleidoscopic technique of Manhattan Transfer ; by skillfully weaving together narration

    Extractions: Dos Passos, John Roderigo American writer, whose bitter, highly impressionistic novels attacked the hypocrisy and materialism of the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. His writings influenced several generations of American and European novelists. Born in Chicago, Dos Passos was educated at Harvard University. His wartime experience as an ambulance driver in France provided background material for his first novel, (published 1920). Dos Passos received critical and popular recognition for his next novel, the antiwar Three Soldiers (1921). In the immensely succesful novel Manhattan Transfer (1925), a panoramic view of life in New York City between 1890 and 1925, Dos Passos first experimented with the techniques for which he is best known: the "newsreel" technique, whereby he inserted fragments of popular songs and news headlines into his text; and the "camera eye" technique, whereby he provided short, poetic responses to give the author's point of view. Dos Passos continued to develop these techniques in several of his later novels. His trilogy U.S.A.
