   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: 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: 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.

Dos Passos, identifying with the leftist radical sympathies of the post-World War I period, experimented in expressing these sentiments with innovative writing techniques in some of his most important and successful works: One Man's Initiation Three Soldiers A Pushcart at the Curb Manhattan Transfer (1925), the trilogy USA The 42nd Parallel Nineteen Nineteen, The Big Money, 1936), and The Head and Heart of Thomas Jefferson The collection is a consolidation of gift and other acquisitions received during the period 1958-1999 from John Dos Passos, his wife Elizabeth Holdridge Dos Passos, his daughter Lucy Dos Passos Coggin and from a number of friends and associates that include: Thomas Pym Cope, Mrs. Lloyd (Marion) Lowndes, Mrs. Harold Weston, Connie and William White, Edmund Berkeley, Jr., Charles W.

The major portion of the papers is comprised of manuscript material (published and unpublished) of most of his novels, plays, poems, articles, speeches, lectures, readings and his reportage on history, politics, society and travel. Included are corrected and uncorrected typescripts, galley and page proofs, notes, outlines, related research material and an extensive assemblage of publisher and literary agent correspondence. Of particular interest are his diaries and notebooks filled with recorded observations, thoughts, verse and sketches that may have served as the basis for some of the character development and themes found in his published writings and in his works of art.
