Notes

1 The View from the Waldorf

1. NYT , March 26, 1949, p. 18.

2. New York Herald Tribune , March 26, 1949, pp. 1, 5. NYT , March 26, 1949, p. 3; March 27, 1949, p. 45. "Red Visitors Cause Rumpus," Life 26:39-43, April 4, 1949, p. 40. Sidney Hook, "The Communist Peace Offensive," Partisan Review 51:692-711, double fiftieth anniversary issue, 1984-85, pp. 702-3. I have given greater weight to the contemporary reports of the conference than to later recollections of it by the principals.

3. In this paragraph I have benefited from the perceptive work of Giles Gunn, The Culture of Criticism and the Criticism of Culture (New York: Oxford University Press, 1987), pp. 5, 20-25, 36.

4. John Gross, The Rise and Fall of the Man of Letters (New York: Macmillan, 1969), shows the importance of reviewing to the tradition in Britain.

5. See Perry Miller, ed., The Transcendentalists (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard, 1950); and Joseph Blau, ed., Social Theories of Jacksonian Democracy (New York: Bobbs-Merrill, 1954).

6. See Edmund Wilson, The Shock of Recognition (New York: Doubleday, 1943).

7. John Tomsich, A Genteel Endeavor (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1971).

8. Van Wyck Brooks, "The Literary Life," in Harold Stearns, ed., Civilization in the United States (1922; reprint, Westport, Conn.: Greenwood, 1971), p. 196.

9. For the letters tradition early in the century see Henry May, The End of American Innocence (New York: Knopf, 1959).

10. Brooks, "The Literary Life," pp. 190, 196.

11. Brooks, "The Literary Life," p. 191.

12. Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, and Irving Howe all wrote essays about Wilson's influence and leadership.

13. Nathan Huggins, Harlem Renaissance (New York: Oxford University Press, 1971).

14. NYT , March 29, 1989, p. D25.

15. See the biographical sketches on Schumpeter and Simons in the Dictionary of American Biography , supplement 4. Schumpeter's influence is apparent on the work of Daniel Bell, and Frank Knight had an influence on Edward Shils at the University of Chicago. Edward Shils, Center and Periphery: Essay in Macrosociology (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1975), p. xxix.

16. The term Trotskyist has both a precise and an imprecise meaning, both of which are used by figures in this study. The term originally denoted a follower of the socialist principles advanced by Trotsky. But since Trotsky was Stalin's main adversary, Stalinists came to use Trotskyist as a derisive epithet for any socialist who did not follow Stalin. Just as the Stalinists disparaged most of their enemies on the left as Trotskyists, so the term often became a general label used by the left to refer to independent leftists.

17. For histories of the group in the pre-World War II period, see Alexander Bloom, Prodigal Sons (New York: Oxford University Press, 1986); Terry Cooney, The Rise of the New York Intellectuals (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1986); Alan Wald, The New York Intellectuals (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1987); Stephen Longstaff, "The New York Intellectuals: A Study of Particularism and Universalism in American High Culture," Ph.D. dissertation, University of California, Berkeley, 1978; James Burkhart Gilbert, Writers and Partisans (New York: Wiley, 1968); Daniel Aaron, Writers on the Left (New York: Harcourt, Brace, World, 1961); John Patrick Diggins, Up From Communism (New York: Harper and Row, 1975); and the memoirs and autobiographies by members of the New York group, especially those by Podhoretz, Kazin, Howe, Barrett, Phillips, Bell, and Mary McCarthy.

18. Several authors have created "family trees" of the New York intellectuals; see Stephen Longstaff, "The New York Family," Queen's Quarterly 83(4):556-73, Winter 1976, p. 573. Also Daniel Bell, The Winding Passage (New York: Basic Books, 1980), pp. 127-29.

19. The following is a rough list of the New York intellectuals, arranged alphabetically. As there are legitimate disagreements over the membership of the New York group (some of those often included protest that no "group" even exists), this list is meant to be suggestive rather than exhaustive. Some of these figures are central to the group; others are more peripheral. An asterisk indicates a European intellectual who influenced the members' outlook, contributed to the group's publications, or took part in their organizations or conferences.

Even some centrists in the group, such as Richard Hofstadter, thought of the intellectual as a questioner. See Richard Hofstadter, Anti-Intellectualism in American Life (New York: Knopf, 1963), pp. 25-33.

25. There are at least two ways to define the term ideology . As Raymond Williams has pointed out, the earlier meaning was used by Napoleon, in Williams's words, to signify "abstract, impractical or fanatical theory." This first meaning defined ideology as impractical, overheated, and false thinking. The later meaning was used by Marx to denote a false consciousness, an inverted view of reality, an illusion that a class harbors about itself and its goals. The New York intellectuals employed the first definition. They used ideology to mean an outlook that was utopian and abstract rather than practical, fanatically committed to an ideal rather than rationally analytical, an absolute vision that embodied total solutions rather than tentative hypotheses.

28. The New York Times published a partial list of official sponsors of the Waldorf Conference, most of whom had merely given their names as an endorsement and had no active role in the conference.

DuBois, Albert Einstein, Howard Fast, Jose Ferrer, Will Geer, Jack Guilford, Dashiell Hammett, Lillian Hellman, Leo Huberman, Langston Hughes, Matthew Josephson, Albert E.

Cowley complained publicly that Kenneth Lynn and other neoconservative critics had accused him of an anti-American interpretation of the work of Ernest Hemingway in his introduction to

the Viking Portable Hemingway in 1949—an interpretation they said showed that Cowley took to literature in the postwar period his frustrations from an earlier unsuccessful totalitarian liberalism that opposed America and celebrated the Soviet Union.
