• W43866353 abstract "John Dos Passos was not able to turn away from World War I as a fictional subject until he had refashioned his experience of it three times. A study of the changing treatment of the war in One Man s Initiation: 1917, Three Soldiers, and the first two novels of U.S.A. shows the grow? ing power of the novels to be linked to Dos Passos's developing sense of history, and we see in his work how biography gives way to history as a model for fiction. Yet the changes in treatment do not appear to depend on his political views which remained unchanged during these years.1 He early felt the war to embody for him a personal sense of isolation and loss, but it was not until U.S.A. that he was able to transform the war into the symbol of social injustice and agony that he wanted it to be. Through these versions he passed from the war as an experience of sen? sitive individuality to the war as the fundamental reality of shared American experience independent of any singly observing intelligence. In doing so he solved two problems inherent in naturalist fiction. First, he showed how the novelist could close the gap between the powerful intel? ligence of the storyteller and his reader on the one hand, and, on the other, the suffering ignorance of the character whose story is told, a gap that dangerously reduces reader involvement. Secondly, he showed how the novelist could maintain a moral stance in a period that distrusted abstractions and traditional concepts and yet was terrified by that vision of sequence without law which Henry Adams showed Dos Passos's generation was the historical lesson of the nineteenth century. Ultimately, Dos Passos's final version of the war depended on his conviction that the sources of his own identification with the war's vic? tims were esthetically secondary. In U.S.A. Dos Passos's view of litera? ture goes beyond the romantic esthetic he inherited from Whitman. Whitman, and Emerson before him, were convinced that in the personal lay the universal; at the deepest level ofthe merely individual lay the root" @default.
