Biographical History
American editor and writer.
Malcolm Cowley was an influential literary historian, critic, and author, perhaps best known for his depiction of the Lost Generation. Born and raised in western Pennsylvania, Cowley was educated at Harvard; his studies were interrupted by his participation in World War I. After graduation, he supported himself by writing reviews, but was compelled to return to France, where he studied and lived among the colony of voluntary American exiles known as the Lost Generation, made famous in Cowley's book, Exile's Return. Returning to America, Cowley wrote poetry, criticism, and history, translated numerous works from French, and served as editor of New Republic; he later lectured widely and served as visiting professor at a number of universities. Among many accomplishments, he is credited with helping to secure William Faulkner's place as a major American writer.
Epithet: writer
Author, poet, editor, translator, literary critic, and historian who was editor of the Greenwich Village avant-garde magazine, Broom, literary editor of the New Republic, a Viking Press editor, and author of Exile's Return, which chronicled literary life between the two World Wars.
Cowley's career reflects major moments and movements of modern American literary history -- American Field Service in WWI, 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.
