...Cowley, at a retrospective distance of four decades, is appropriately satiric on the formulaic, hortatory features of this school, but he is still able to assert of Clifford Odets's Waiting for Lefty that "for all its faults, [it] comes as close to being a classic as anything that directly emerged from the proleterian school...

By the time Kerouac and his colleagues came of age in the literary scene, Malcolm Cowley (1898-1989) was an established, major figure among literary critics and chroniclers of modernist literary history in the U.S. and of literary radicalism.
As a kind of social historian, Cowley had chronicled the writers of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s (in Exile's Return, which charts the roaring twenties modernists' move toward political radicalism in the 1930s) and their successors.
Kerouac may be thinking of Cowley as so well established by the late 1950s that he dreams of him as an irony - the chronicler of radicalism and experimentalism that had grown crusty.

 Janice Obuchowski's Review
Malcolm Cowley tells his readers, "I can report this from experience" (219) when he speaks of the mass emigration of writers from New York City to the suburbs of Connecticut and New Jersey in the late 1920's.
Cowley's book explains the origins of the "lost generation", of those writers and artists who were active during the 1920's, and uses himself as an emblematic figure of those writers.
Cowley stresses this intertwining of life and art in part because he wants to show how, as a generation, young people in the twenties failed to acknowledge societies influence on them.

Cowley, literary editor of the New Republic until 1944 and lifelong student of American literature, lived in the hamlet of Sherman, Conn., from 1936 until his death in 1989.
Cowley knew personally many of the writers about whom he wrote, and the chapters on the likes of Eugene O'Neill, Hart Crane and Cheever are as much memoir as literary criticism.
Representative of the profound feeling Cowley had for the locale (he spent most of his life in Connecticut) and its inhabitants is a piece on the courtship of Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody ("The Hawthornes in Paradise").

THE SALIENT FACT about Malcolm Cowley, who died last month at the age of ninety, is that he lived the life of literature with intense commitment for some seventy years.
He worked, as he put it in the title of one of his later collections, at "the writer's trade." He was by no means a profound critic, but he perfected a prose style that was lucid without being reductive.
Perhaps Cowley's most important critical act was his editing of the Viking Portable Faulkner in 1946.

 The Nation, 02/19/1955 - The Case of Malcolm Cowley by Aldridge, John W.
The historical method in criticism, which over the past several years, author Malcolm Cowley, among others has vigorously simplified into popularity, is not to be taken much seriously, although its lineage is long and for the most part, distinguished, and its influence in shaping mass-standards of literary opinion has always been very great.
...Cowley should be reminded now, at this crucial stage in his career, that criticism is no longer simple, and that its heroism today consists in facing squarely and intelligently the full complexities of the literary situation in which we live...
...It was the poet in Cowley who was responsible for, the lucid prose of which Tate speaks, and it was -because Cowley was able through that prose to personalize and lyricize his historical subject in "Exile's Return" that the book remained free of the] defects inherent in his essentially historical method...
