Outline of Final Research Achievements

Placing particular emphasis on Malcolm Cowley's early career in the 1920s and 30s, this study provided a compact survey of some intellectual lives of the "lost generation" American writers in the decades of great transition. My attention was especially focused to his relationship with Edmund Wilson, Cowley's elder colleague at the New Republic magazine in the early 1930s, and Kenneth Burke, a childhood friend of Cowley's and one of the most unique American "self-made" men of philosophical ideas. Among a few ramifications of the research was Japanese translation of selected chapters of Cowley's autobiographical chronicle of the "dirty thirties," The Dream of the Golden Mountains (1989). Translation of the whole book is now in progress.
