Birthday
Celebrated
By Brooks
By ADELAIDE WILEY
"My native town was Plainfield,
a name that used to mortify me
in my hyperaesthetic youth, for it
struck me naive; and I was greatly
relieved when I found that the
name of Tolstoy's place, Yasnaya
Polyana, meant the same thing in
Russian."'
Van Wyck Brooks, today cele-
brating his 70th birthday, goes on
to describe his feelings about
Plainfield, New Jersey, "The Wall
Street Suburb," in his autobiogra-
phy, "Scenes and Portraits."
Brooks loved New England deep-
ly, and wrote several books on that
section's "civilization," its litera-
ture, and writers.
"The Flowering of New England"
is one of his most outstanding
works. It treats of American liter-
ature in England, a history and
criticism of 19th-century literature
in America, and the New England
civilization.
In another book about his be-
loved New England, "A Chilmark
Miscellany," he wrote about such
things as the mis-education of
Henry Adams, Poe as a critic, and
Hawthorne in Salem.
But Brooks did not limit himself
to New England, in his writing.
*He met many of the country's
outstanding people; he wrote a
biography of artist John Sloan,
and one on John Addington Sy-
monds.
He tried to understand as much
of American culture as possible
when many still believed America
had no "culture."
In books like "America's Com-
ing-of-Age," he discussed our in-
tellectual life, national character-

his valuable interest mn a variety

With his wife, Eleanor Stimson
Brooks, he translated a book in
French by Georges Berguer, and
did several other books himself.
One of his two sons, Charles,
assisted him in translating "The
Private Life of Henri Frederic
Amiel."
Brooks received his A. B. degree
from Harvard in 1908, and doc-
toral degrees in literature from
Columbia, 'Tufts, Bowdoin, Boston
University, Dartmouth and North-j

From 1911 to 1913, he was an
