Barzun, Jacques, 1907-2012
Born in France on November 30, 1907, critic-historian Jacques Barzun came to the United States in 1920 and received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University. He taught at Columbia until his retirement in 1975, having also for a decade been Dean of Faculties and Provost. From 1975 to 1993 he was Literary Adviser to Charles Scribner's Sons. Among his forty books are biographical-critical studies of William James and Hector Berlioz, several volumes of literary and cultural criticism, translations, and the 900-page summa and best-seller From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life: 1500 to the Present.
