His father, John Steinbeck, Sr., served as the County Treasurer while his mother, Olive (Hamilton) Steinbeck, a former school teacher, fostered Steinbeck's love of reading and the written word. During summers he worked as a hired hand on nearby ranches, nourishing his impression of the California countryside and its people. After graduating from Salinas High School in 1919, Steinbeck attended Stanford University. Originally an English major, he pursued a program of independent study and his attendance was sporadic. During this time he worked periodically at various jobs and left Stanford permanently in 1925 to pursue his writing career in New York. However, he was unsuccessful in getting any of his writing published and finally returned to California. His first novel

Literary Pilgrimages by Terry Ballard Mark Twain Hannibal's two most renowned citizens are immortalized in a downtown park. I've followed Mark Twain all around the world - it seems like anywhere I've been, he got there first. So far my favorite spots with Twain connections are Maui (He loved the place so much that he couldn't even write while he was there), Lake Tahoe and Paris (which he hated). I went to his boyhood home in Hannibal Missouri when I was on my way across America to take a new job in New York in 1990. The picture below may look the cerebellum of a blue whale, but it is actually a picture taken inside Tom Sawyer's cave - one of the essential visits in Hannibal. The other is his boyhood home, which was being totally refurbished at the time of my visit. After he grew up, made a name for himself and made lots of money, he built this mansion in Hartford: Here is the house at Tedworth Square in London where he was living when he spoke the famous lines "reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." That visit was strange for two reasons. First, when I was standing outside the Square, looking at the house, a woman and her son were arriving with the key - and they offered to let me inside the residents only square. That kind of treatment of strangers is rare in London. Secondly, the odd lighting in the upper right hand corner of the picture appears in all pictures of Twain houses that I took for years.

Help Biography of John Steinbeck (1902-1968) John Steinbeck John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California in 1902 and attended Stanford University intermittently between 1920 and 1926. Steinbeck did not graduate from Stanford, but instead chose to support himself through manual labor while writing. His experiences among the working classes in California lent authenticity to his depiction of the lives of the workers who are the central characters of his most important novels. Steinbeck spent much of his life in Monterey County, which later was the setting of some of his fiction. Steinbeck's later writings were comparatively slight works of entertainment and journalism, but he did make conscientious attempts to reassert his stature as a major novelist: Burning Bright (1950), East of Eden (1952), and The Winter of Our Discontent (1961). None of these works equaled the critical reputation of his earlier novels. Steinbeck's reputation depends mostly on the naturalistic novels with proletarian themes he wrote during the Depression. It is in these works that Steinbeck is most effective in his building of rich symbolic structures and his attempts at conveying the archetypal qualities of his characters. Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1962, and died in New York City in 1968. ClassicNotes on Works by John Steinbeck

35. Steinbeck Country A virtual tour of places connected with john steinbeck's life and writing. http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/steinbec/steincon.html

San Jose State University Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies Steinbeck Country Many claim that the decade of the 1930s saw Steinbeck's greatest works, from the early stories collected in The Long Valley (1938), to his recognized masterpieces: Tortilla Flat In Dubious Battle Of Mice and Men (1937) and The Grapes of Wrath (1939). Each book is defined by Steinbeck's sensitivity for common manmisfits, striking workers, a lonely ranch wife, piasanos, migrants who sought prosperity in the golden land. And each work of fiction is informed by the idea that people must be seen in the context of their environments. Early in the 1930s he wrote: "the trees and the muscled mountains are the worldbut not the world apart from manthe world and manthe one inseparable unit man and his environment. Why they should ever have been understood as being separate I do not know." Steinbeck's California fiction, from apprenticeship novel, To a God Unknown (1932) through his epic treatment of the Salinas Valley, East of Eden (1952)written after his move to New York Cityenvisions the dreams and defeats of common people as shaped by the magnificent land they inhabit.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL John Steinbeck (1902-1968), born in Salinas, California, came from a family of moderate means. He worked his way through college at Stanford University but never graduated. In 1925 he went to New York, where he tried for a few years to establish himself as a free-lance writer, but he failed and returned to California. After publishing some novels and short stories, Steinbeck first became widely known with Tortilla Flat (1935), a series of humorous stories about Monterey paisanos. Steinbeck's novels can all be classified as social novels dealing with the economic problems of rural labour, but there is also a streak of worship of the soil in his books, which does not always agree with his matter-of-fact sociological approach. After the rough and earthy humour of Tortilla Flat, he moved on to more serious fiction, often aggressive in its social criticism, to In Dubious Battle (1936), which deals with the strikes of the migratory fruit pickers on California plantations. This was followed by Of Mice and Men (1937), the story of the imbecile giant Lennie, and a series of admirable short stories collected in the volume
