Alfred Kazin
Article Abstract:
Writer and literary critic Alfred Kazin began reviewing for the New Republic in 1934, having studied for only one year at the City College of New York. He was a socialist for many years, but never a Marxist. He became literary editor of New Republic in 1942, and at the same time published 'On Native Grounds,' which traces the rise of American realism from the late 19th century to the 1930s. He was linked with many distinguished universities during the post-war period.
