Irving Howe
Irving Howe (; June 11, 1920 – May 5, 1993) was a Jewish American literary and social critic and a prominent figure of the Democratic Socialists of America. ==Early years==
Howe was born as Irving Horenstein in The Bronx, New York. He was the son of Jewish immigrants from Bessarabia, Nettie (née Goldman) and David Horenstein, who ran a small grocery store that went out of business during the Great Depression.〔Rodden, John and Goffman, Ethan (2010). "Chronology". ''(Politics and the Intellectual: Conversations With Irving Howe )''. West Lafayette, IN: Purdue University Press. ISBN 9781557535511. Pg. xv.〕 His father became a peddler and eventually a presser in a dress factory. His mother was an operator in the dress trade.〔 Howe attended City College (CCNY) and graduated in 1940,〔 alongside Daniel Bell and Irving Kristol; by the summer of 1940 he had changed his name to Howe for political (as distinct from official) purposes.〔Edward Alexander, ''Irving Howe - Socialist, Critic, Jew'' (Indiana University Press, 1998; ISBN 0253113210), p. 10.〕 While at school he was constantly debating socialism, Stalinism, fascism, and the meaning of Judaism. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Upon his return, he began writing literary and cultural criticism for the influential ''Partisan Review'' and became a frequent essayist for ''Commentary'', ''Politics'', ''The Nation'', ''The New Republic'', and ''The New York Review of Books''. In 1954, Howe helped found the intellectual quarterly ''Dissent'', which he edited until his death in 1993.〔 In the 1950s Howe taught English and Yiddish literature at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA. He used the ''Howe and Greenberg Treasury of Yiddish Stories'' as the text for a course on the Yiddish story at a time when few were spreading knowledge or appreciation of these works in American colleges and universities.
