    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History , author. Steinbeck's place in American literature is assured by his late 1930s novels about the plight of the working class: In Dubious Battle Of Mice and Men (1937), and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Grapes of Wrath Growing up in agrarian Salinas, California, Steinbeck felt both empathy for the weak and scorn for the middle-class complacency of his hometown. At fourteen, he decided to write romances, but after a long apprenticeship, he found his voice in more realistic stories about ordinary people trying to achieve dignity in a repressive society. His short stories of the early 1930s, collected in The Long Valley (1938), tell of the misplaced, the lonely, and the misunderstood, their frustration conveyed in prose that, like Hemingway's, is terse and suggestive. That compact style also served humorously to expose the stifling norms of the middle class. The rollicking Tortilla Flat (1935), his first commercial success, relates the misadventures of a group of drunken, finagling paisanos whose uninhibited zest for life and loyalty to one another are contrasted favorably with bourgeois sensibilities, a theme and tone he later adopted when he wrote about Monterey's

    Extractions: American novelist, story writer, playwright, and essayist. Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. He is best remembered for THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1939), a novel widely considered to be a 20th-century classic. The impact of the book has been compared to that of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. The epic about the migration of the Joad family, driven from its bit of land in Oklahoma to California, arose a wide debate about the hard lot of migrant laborers, and helped to put an agricultural reform into effect.

He studied firsthand the struggles of the migrant workers; he celebrates their labor in ritualistic terms and shows the downtrodden overcoming their many adversities through courage and dignity, and through their compassion for fellow sufferers. His prose is considered lyrical in its ability to capture the native speech, folktales and humor of a particular region.

57. ClassicNotes: About John Steinbeck
    Biography of john steinbeck by ClassicNotes.  
    http://www.classicnote.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_john_steinbeck.html
    
    Extractions: John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California in 1902 and attended Stanford University intermittently between 1920 and 1926. Steinbeck did not graduate from Stanford, but instead chose to support himself through manual labor while writing. His experiences among the working classes in California lent authenticity to his depiction of the lives of the workers who are the central characters of his most important novels. Steinbeck spent much of his life in Monterey County, which later was the setting of some of his fiction. Steinbeck's later writings were comparatively slight works of entertainment and journalism, but he did make conscientious attempts to reassert his stature as a major novelist: Burning Bright (1950), East of Eden (1952), and The Winter of Our Discontent (1961). None of these works equaled the critical reputation of his earlier novels. Steinbeck's reputation depends mostly on the naturalistic novels with proletarian themes he wrote during the Depression. It is in these works that Steinbeck is most effective in his building of rich symbolic structures and his attempts at conveying the archetypal qualities of his characters. Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1962, and died in New York City in 1968. East of Eden

Dec. 20, 1968, New York, N.Y.), American novelist, best known for The Grapes of Wrath (1939), which summed up the bitterness of the Great Depression decade and aroused widespread sympathy for the plight of migratory farm workers. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature for 1962. Steinbeck attended Stanford University, Stanford, Calif., intermittently between 1920 and 1926 but did not take a degree. Before his books attained success, he spent considerable time supporting himself as a manual labourer while writing, and his experiences lent authenticity to his depictions of the lives of the workers in his stories. He spent much of his life in Monterey county, Calif., which later was the setting of some of his fiction. Steinbeck's first novel, Cup of Gold (1929), was followed by The Pastures of Heaven (1932) and To a God Unknown (1933), none of which were successful. He first achieved popularity with Tortilla Flat (1935), an affectionately told story of

    Extractions: Steinbeck, John Steinbeck, John, , American writer, b. Salinas, Calif., studied at Stanford. He is probably best remembered for his strong sociological novel The Grapes of Wrath, Cup of Gold The Pastures of Heaven (1932), and To a God Unknown Tortilla Flat (1935), an affectionate yet realistic novel about the lovable, exotic, Spanish-speaking poor of Monterey, was enthusiastically received. A compassionate understanding of the world's disinherited was to be Steinbeck's hallmark. The novel In Dubious Battle (1936) defends striking migrant agricultural workers in the California fields. In the novella Of Mice and Men The Moon Is Down (1942; later made into a play), about Norwegian resistance to the Nazis. The Grapes of Wrath (1939; Pulitzer Prize), while treating the plight of dispossessed Dust Bowl farmers during the 1930s, presents a universal picture of victims of disaster. Steinbeck's depiction of the westward migration of the Joad family, and their subsequent struggles in the exploitative agricultural industry of California, is realistic and moving, and he endows his humble characters with nobility. Steinbeck's other works are diverse, ranging from the literal account of a voyage
