Edmund Wilson

His notable works include ''Axel's Castle'' (1931), described by Joyce Carol Oates as "a groundbreaking study of modern literature." Oates writes that Wilson "encroached fearlessly on areas reserved for academic 'experts': early Christianity in ''The Dead Sea Scrolls'' (1955), native American civilization in ''Apologies to the Iroquois'' (1960), and the American Civil War in ''Patriotic Gore'' (1962)."
Wilson also authored a novel, ''I Thought of Daisy'' (1929) and a collection of short stories, ''Memoirs of Hecate County'' (1946). He was a friend of many notable figures, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos and Vladimir Nabokov. His dream for a Library of America series of national classic works came to fruition through the efforts of Jason Epstein after Wilson's death. He was a two-time winner of the National Book Award and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964. He died in 1972 at age 77. Provided by Wikipedia
