ABSTRACT
Bishop (1892–1944) was an American ‘lost generation’ poet, novelist, and critic. Educated at Princeton, where he was a classmate of F.Scott Fitzgerald and Edmund Wilson, Bishop became friends with Dos Passos in New York during the early 1920s. His Collected Poems were edited by Allen Tate in 1948. In addition to Dos Passos's first novel, Bishop reviewed F.Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and Damned and Stephen Vincent Benét's The Beginning of Wisdom as the best work yet written by young writers of his own generation.
