Biographical History
Edward C. Aswell was born in Nashville, Tenn., in 1900. After graduating from Harvard University in 1926, he joined the staff of the "Forum," and, in 1930, became assistant editor of "The Atlantic Monthly." In 1935, Aswell moved to Harper & Brothers as an assistant editor of general books, later becoming editor-in-chief. While assistant editor, Aswell persuaded Thomas Wolfe to sign with Harper & Brothers. Before Wolfe left on his trip through the western United States during which he acquired the illness that led to his death, he turned over to Aswell a large amount of manuscript material. After Wolfe's death in September 1938, Aswell began editing the material Wolfe left behind. The result of this work was two posthumous novels, "The Web and the Rock" (1939) and "You Can't Go Home Again" (1941), and one volume of short stories, "The Hills Beyond" (1941). Aswell moved from Harper & Brothers to the trade-book department of McGraw-Hill and then to Doubleday & Company, where he was senior editor. He succeeded Maxwell Perkins as administrator of the Thomas Wolfe Estate in 1947. Aswell died in 1958. T
