GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE

Guillaume Apollinaire (French: [ijom aplin]; August 26,1880 in Rome - November 9, 1918 in Paris)[1] was
a French poet, playwright, short story writer,novelist, and art critic of Polish descent. His novels were mostly erotic.
Apollinaire is considered one of the foremost poets of the early 20th century, as well as one of the most impassioned
defenders of Cubism and a forefather ofSurrealism. He is credited for coining the term Cubism (1911) to describe the works
of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the terms "Orphism" (1912) to describe the works of Frantisek Kupka, and the term
"Surrealism" (1917) to describe the works of Eric Satie. He wrote one of the earliest works described as Surrealist, the
play The Breasts of Tiresias (1917), which was used as the basis for the 1947 opera Les mamelles de Tirsias.

MARC BLITZSTEIN
Marcus Samuel Blitzstein, known as Marc Blitzstein (March 2, 1905 January 22, 1964), was an American composer,
lyricist, and librettist.[1] He won national attention in 1937 when his pro-union musical The Cradle Will Rock, directed
by Orson Welles, was shut down by the Works Progress Administration. He is known for The Cradle Will Rock and for
his Off-Broadway translation/adaptation of The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. His works also include
the opera Regina, an adaptation of Lillian Hellman's play The Little Foxes; the Broadway musical Juno, based on Sen
O'Casey's play Juno and the Paycock; and No for an Answer. He completed translation/adaptations of Brecht's and Weill's
musical play Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and of Brecht's play Mother Courage and Her Children with music
by Paul Dessau. Blitzstein also composed music for films, such as Surf and Seaweed (1931) andThe Spanish Earth (1937),
and he contributed two songs to the original 1960 production of Hellman's play Toys in the Attic.

ROBERT MONTGOMERY BIRD

In 1828, Bird's play Pelopidas won a $1000 prize offered by the actor Edwin Forrest, but was never produced. Instead, Bird
wrote another play for Forrest,The Gladiator, which was produced in 1831. [3] Bird wrote several other plays for Forrest.
Forrest had promised to pay Bird more for these plays if they proved successful. Though they were, Forrest refused to give
Bird additional money; Bird's frustration with Forrest pushed him into writing novels. [1] These includeCalavar (1834), The
Infidel (1835), The Hawks of Hawk-Hollow (1835), Sheppard Lee (1836), Nick of the Woods (1837) (his most successful
novel), and The Adventures of Robin Day (1839).[4] Calavar and The Infidel are notable for their graphic and accurate details
and descriptions of Mexican history.
Bird also pursued a number of other interests. In 1837, he began a career as a journalist, working as the Associate Editor
for The American Monthly Magazine. He became the editor of the North American Magazine and United States Gazette in
1847. He also taught medicine at the Pennsylvania Medical College and ran for Congress in 1842 (an attempt which was
later aborted).[5]
According to Christopher Looby, "Bird's biographers say that the intensity of these literary labors led to a breakdown of his
health, possibly including a mental disorder, and that he retired to a farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1840 to
restore himself."
ALEXANDRE BISSON
Alexandre Charles Auguste Bisson (April 9, 1848 January 27, 1912) was a French playwright, vaudeville creator, and
novelist. Born in Briouze, Orne in Lower Normandy, he was successful in his native France as well as in the United States.
Remembered as a significant creator of Parisian vaudeville, in collaboration with Edmond Gondinet, Bisson's 1881 three-act
comedy "Un Voyage d'agrment" was performed at the Thtre du Vaudeville in Paris.
In 1892, the first of a Bisson's dozen plays came to New York City's Broadway stage. Of his works, Bisson is best
remembered for his play "Madame X" that was performed in 1910 both in Paris and on Broadway with Sarah Bernhardt in
the leading role. Over the years, the play would be revived for Broadway three times and nine Madame Xmotion pictures in
several languages have been filmed. The first silent screen adaptation was in 1916 and the latest in 2000. Better-known
versions include a 1929 "talkie" production starring Ruth Chatterton and directed by Lionel Barrymore plus the 1966

production starring Lana Turner. In 2006 a musical has been produced in Chicago, IL based on the original play "Madame
X".
Bisson also adapted the 1910 bestselling Florence Barclay novel, The Rosary as a three-act play for the Paris stage. Widely
acclaimed in the United States, Alexandre Bisson was invited to write about the theatre by The Saturday Evening Post and
his articles The Dilemmas of the Theater and How the World Contributes to the American Stage were published in 1912.
Alexandre Bisson died in Paris in 1912 at the age of sixty-three.

HONOR DE BALZAC
Honor de Balzac (/blzk, bl-/;[1] French: [.n.e d() bal.zak]; 20 May 1799 18 August 1850) was a French
novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories and novels collectively entitled La Comdie
Humaine, which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the 1815 Fall of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders
of realism in European literature.[2]He is renowned for his multifaceted characters, who are morally ambiguous. His writing
influenced many subsequent novelists such as Marcel Proust, mile Zola, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Edgar Allan
Poe, Ea de Queirs, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Oscar Wilde, Gustave Flaubert, Benito Prez Galds, Marie Corelli, Henry
James, William Faulkner, Jack Kerouac, and Italo Calvino, and philosophers such as Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx. Many
of Balzac's works have been made into or have inspired films, and they are a continuing source of inspiration for writers,
filmmakers and critics.
An enthusiastic reader and independent thinker as a child, Balzac had trouble adapting to the teaching style of his grammar
school. His willful nature caused trouble throughout his life and frustrated his ambitions to succeed in the world of business.
When he finished school, Balzac was apprenticed in a law office, but he turned his back on the study of law after wearying
of its inhumanity and banal routine. Before and during his career as a writer, he attempted to be a publisher, printer,
businessman, critic, and politician; he failed in all of these efforts. La Comdie Humaine reflects his real-life difficulties, and
includes scenes from his own experience.

Balzac had health problems throughout his life, possibly brought on by scant attention to proper nutrition, strict nightly rest,
or daily heart-healthy exercise. His relationship with his family was often strained by financial and personal difficulties, and
he ended several friendships over critical reviews.
In 1850 Balzac married Ewelina Haska, a Polish aristocrat and his longtime love; he died in Paris five months later.

MILE AUGIER
Augier described his own life as "without incident". L'Aventurire (1848), the first of his important works, already shows a
deviation from romantic ideals; and in the Mariage d'Olympe (1855), the courtesan is shown as she is, not glorified as
in Dumas's Dame aux Camlias. In Gabrielle (1849), the husband, not the lover, is the sympathetic character. Augier
provided the libretto for the first opera composed by Charles Gounod, Sapho (1851). In this version of the story a courtesan
Glycre is the perfidious villainess, and the self-sacrificing title character is wholly heterosexual, not a " sapphist". In
the Lionnes pauvres (1858) the wife who sells her favours comes under the lash. Greed of gold, social moralization,
ultramontanism, lust of power, these are satirized Les Effronts (1861), Le Fils de Giboyer (1862), La Contagionannounced
under the title of Le Baron d'Estrigaud (1866), Lions et renards (1869) - which, with Le Gendre de Monsieur Poirier (1854),
written in collaboration with Jules Sandeau, reach the high-water mark of Augier's art; in Philiberte (1853), he produced a
graceful and delicate drawing-room comedy; and in Jean de Thommeray, acted in 1873 after the great reverses of 1870, the
regenerating note of patriotism rings high and clear. [1]
His last two dramas, Madame Caverlet (1876) and Les Fourchambault (1879), are problem plays. But it would be unfair to
suggest that Augier was a mere preacher. He was a moralist in the same sense in which the term can be applied
to Molire and the great dramatists. Nor does the interest of dramas depend on elaborate plot. It springs from character. His
men and women are real, several of them typical. Augier's first drama, La Cigu, belongs to a time (1844) when romantic
drama was on the wane; and his almost elusively domestic range of subject scarcely lends itself to lyric bursts of pure
poetry. His verse, if not that of a great poet, has excellent dramatic qualities, while the prose of his prose dramas is
admirable for directness, alertness, sinew and a large and effective wit. [1]

He was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy, which he later said he found a lonely experience. While there he fell in love
with an older woman, an event which later became the basis of the plot of Tea and Sympathy. Anderson also
attended Harvard University, where he took an undergraduate as well as a master's degree. [1]

He may be best-remembered as the author of Tea and Sympathy. The play made its Broadway debut in 1953 and was
made into an MGM film in 1956; both starred Deborah Kerr and John Kerr.
You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running, a collection of four one-act comedies, opened in New York in 1967
and ran for more than 700 performances. His other successful Broadway plays were Silent Night, Lonely Night (1959) and I
Never Sang for My Father (1968).[2]
He also wrote the screenplays for Until They Sail (1957), The Nun's Story (1959), and The Sand Pebbles (1966). He
was Oscar-nominated for The Nun's Story as well as his 1970 screen adaptation of I Never Sang for My Father. He also
authored many television scripts, including the TV play The Last Act Is a Solo (1991), and the novels After (1973)
and Getting Up and Going Home (1978).
He was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1981.[3]
Anderson was married to Phyllis Stohl from 1940 until her death in 1956 and to actress Teresa Wright from 1959 until their
divorce in 1978. Anderson died of pneumonia on February 9, 2009 at his home in Manhattan, aged 91. He had been
suffering from Alzheimer's disease for seven years prior to his death. [4]

WILLIAM ALFRED
William Alfred (August 16, 1922 May 20, 1999) was a playwright and Professor of English literature at Harvard
University.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Alfred served in the Army tank corps in World War II, received a B.A. from Brooklyn College in
1948, and received an M.A. in English from Harvard in 1949. He earned hisPh.D. at Harvard in 1954 and that year joined its
faculty, becoming a full professor in 1963.

Alfred was a specialist in early English literature. He was chairman of Harvard's Standing Committee on Dramatics for many
years, and he taught a course in playwriting. His lyrical play, Hogan's Goat, about turn-of-the-century Brooklyn-Irish politics,
had a long and successful off-Broadway run in 1966 and provided a breakout role for actress Faye Dunaway, who became
a lifelong friend of Alfred's. Other works included Agamemnon, The Curse of an Aching Heart (also starring
Dunaway), Nothing Doing, and Cry for Us All, a musical adaptation of Hogan's Goat.
In 1980 he was named Abbott Lawrence Lowell Professor of the Humanities. William Alfred was the recipient of the New
York Drama Desk Award (for Hogan's Goat) and served on the poetry panels of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book
Award committees. He was a member of the Medieval Academy of America, the Modern Language Association, ASCAP,
and the Dramatists Guild. In addition to his plays, he was the author of a book of poems, The Annunciation Rosary, and a
translation of Beowulf.
Though he was acclaimed and beloved both in academe and in the theater, Alfred said he often had misgivings about
dividing his time between the two. "I feel a kind of double guilt," he said in a Harvard University Gazette profile of May 27,
1999, a sense that the dual nature of his professional life hadn't left him enough time for either side. But he clearly had an
enormous influence on students who went on to careers in theater and film, including actors Tommy Lee Jones '68,
Stockard Channing '65, John Lithgow '67, and director Timothy Mayer '66. Jones called Alfred "my best teacher, ever."
Alfred enjoyed long friendships with a number of accomplished actors, and with writers such as Gertrude Stein, Archibald
MacLeish, Robert Lowell, and Seamus Heaney.
The Gazette profile went on to say: 'Alfred was the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine profiles, some of which
captured his zest for the places he lived and the people he knew. Walking a New Yorker reporter around the Brooklyn
neighborhood where he grew up, Columbia Heights, Alfred pointed out historic buildings and his old neighborhood sandwich
shop with equal enthusiasm. "For fifteen cents," he said, "you'd get ham and American cheese and tomatoes and lettuce
and lots of mayonnaise on Italian bread. Those sandwiches were wonderful." Alfred was among the most popular
professors ever to teach at Harvard, and even after his retirement he continued to work with one undergraduate per year.
"He was much beloved by generations of students, and by his colleagues, as well," said English Department Chair
Lawrence Buell.'
HAROLD BRIGHOUSE
Harold Brighouse (26 July 1882 25 July 1958) was an English playwright and author whose best known play is Hobson's
Choice. He was a prominent member, together with Allan Monkhouse and Stanley Houghton, of a group known as
the Manchester School of dramatists.
The first play written by Brighouse was Lonesome Like, but the first to be produced was The Doorway. This was performed
in 1909 at Annie Horniman's Gaiety Theatre in Manchester and produced byBen Iden Payne. Horniman and Payne gave
strong support to Brighouse in the early stages of his career. Many of his plays were one-act pieces; three of the best of
these (The Northerners, Zack andThe Game) were published together as Three Lancashire Plays in 1920. All of these plays
were set in Lancashire but Brighouse also wrote plays of a different type, such as The Oak Settle and Maid of France. His
most successful play was Hobson's Choice, first produced in 1915 in New York where Payne was working. It was first
produced in England in 1916 at the Apollo Theatre, London, where it ran for 246 performances. The play was made into a
film, directed by David Lean, in 1953, and it was produced at the National Theatre at the Old Vic, London, in 1964.
[1]
The Crucible Theatre Sheffieldstaged a revival in June 2011 directed by Christopher Luscombe and starring Barrie Rutter,
Zoe Waites and Philip McGinley.
Brighouse also wrote novels, including Hepplestalls, concerning a Lancashire mill-owning family in the 19th century. In
addition he wrote many reviews and other pieces for the Manchester Guardian. He was a member of the Dramatists' Club
and in 193031 was chairman of the Society of Authors' dramatic committee. After 1931 he wrote no more full-length plays.
His autobiography What I Have Hadwas published in 1953.[1]

CLARE BOOTHE LUCE

Clare Boothe Luce (March 10, 1903[1][2] October 9, 1987) was an American author and later a US Ambassador. She was
the first American woman appointed to a major ambassadorial post abroad. A versatile author, she is best known for her
1936 hit play The Women, which had an all-female cast. Her writings extended from drama and screen scenarios to fiction,
journalism, and war reportage. She was the wife of Henry Luce, publisher of Time, Life,Fortune, and Sports Illustrated.
Politically, Luce became steadily more conservative in later life. In her youth, however, she briefly aligned herself with the
liberalism of Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a protege of Bernard Baruch.[3] Although she was a strong supporter of the AngloAmerican alliance in World War II, she remained outspokenly critical of the British presence in India. [4] A charismatic and
forceful public speaker, especially after her conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1946, she campaigned for every
Republican presidential candidate from Wendell Willkie to Ronald Reagan.

GEORGE M. COHAN
George Michael Cohan (July 3, 1878 November 5, 1942), known professionally as George M. Cohan, was an American
entertainer, playwright, composer, lyricist, actor, singer, dancer and producer.
Cohan began his career as a child, performing with his parents and sister in a vaudeville act known as "The Four Cohans."
Beginning with Little Johnny Jonesin 1904, he wrote, composed, produced, and appeared in more than three
dozen Broadway musicals. Cohan published more than 300 songs during his lifetime, including the standards "Over There",
"Give My Regards to Broadway", "The Yankee Doodle Boy" and "You're a Grand Old Flag".[1] As a composer, he was one of
the early members of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). He displayed remarkable
theatrical longevity, appearing in films until the 1930s, and continuing to perform as a headline artist until 1940.
Known in the decade before World War I as "the man who owned Broadway", he is considered the father of American
musical comedy.[1] His life and music were depicted in the Academy Award-winning film Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) and
the 1968 musical George M!. A statue of Cohan in Times Square in New York City commemorates his contributions to
American musical theatre.
PADRAIC COLUM
EARLY POETRY AND PLAYS
He was awarded a prize by Cumann na nGaedheal for his anti-enlistment play, The Saxon Shillin'. Through his plays he
became involved with the National Theatre Society and became involved in the founding of the Abbey Theatre, writing
several of its early productions. His first play, Broken Soil (revised as The Fiddler's House) (1903) was performed by W. G.
Fay's Irish National Dramatic Company.[2] The Land (1905), was one of that theatre's first great public successes. He wrote
another important play for the Abbey named Thomas Muskerry (1910).
His earliest published poems appeared in The United Irishman, a paper edited by Arthur Griffith. His first book, Wild
Earth (1907) collected many of these poems and was dedicated to . He published several poems in Arthur Griffith's
paper, The United Irishman this time, with The Poor Scholar bringing him to the attention of WB Yeats. He became a friend
of Yeats and Lady Gregory. In 1908, he wrote an introduction to the Everyman's Library edition of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of
Mystery and Imagination.
In 1911, with Mary Gunning Maguire, a fellow student from UCD, and David Houston and Thomas MacDonagh, he founded
the short-lived literary journal The Irish Review, which published work by Yeats, George Moore, Oliver St John Gogarty, and
many other leading Revival figures.
In 1912 he married Maguire, who was working at Pdraig Pearse's experimental school, Scoil anna in Rathfarnam, County
Dublin. At first the couple lived in the Dublin suburb of Donnybrook, where they held a regular Tuesday literary salon. They
then moved to Howth, a small fishing village just to the north of the capital. In 1914, they travelled to the US for what was
intended to be a visit of a few months but lasted eight years.
LATER LIFE AND WORK
In America, Colum took up children's writing and published a number of collections of stories for children, beginning
with The King of Ireland's Son (1916). This book came about when Colum started translating an Irish folk tale
from Gaelic because he did not want to forget the language. After it was published in the New York Tribune, Hungarian
Illustrator Willy Pgany suggested the possibility of a book collaboration, so Colum wove the folktale into a long, epic story.
[3]
Three of his books for children were awarded retrospective citations for the Newbery Honor. A contract for children's
literature withMacmillan Publishers made him financially secure for the rest of his life. Some other books he wrote are The
Adventure of Odysseus (1918) and The Children of Odin (1920). These works are important for bringing classical literature
to children.

In 1922 he was commissioned to write versions of Hawaiian folklore for young people. This resulted in the publication of
three volumes of his versions of tales from the island. First editions of this work were presented to US president Barack
Obama by Taoiseach Enda Kenny on the occasion of his visit to Dublin, Ireland on 23 May 2011. Colum also started writing
novels. These include Castle Conquer(1923) and The Flying Swans (1937). The Colums spent the years from 1930 to 1933
living in Paris and Nice, where Padraic renewed his friendship with James Joyce and became involved in the transcription
of Finnegans Wake.
After their time in France, the couple moved to New York City, where they did some teaching at Columbia
University and CCNY. Colum was a prolific author and published a total of 61 books, not counting his plays. He adopted the
form of Noh drama in his later plays.
Mary died in 1957 and Padraic finished Our Friend James Joyce, which they had worked on together. It was published in
1958. Colum divided his later years between the United States and Ireland. In 1961 the Catholic Library Association
awarded him the Regina Medal. He died in Enfield, Connecticut, age 90, and was buried in St. Fintan's Cemetery, Sutton.
Asked how to say his name, he told The Literary Digest the last name was the same as the word column. "In my first name,
the first a has the sound of au. The ordinary pronunciation in Irish ispau'drig."[4]
