Study Guides and Literature Essays Editing Services ... Authors : Ralph Ellison Biography of Ralph Ellison (1914-1994) Study Guides and Essays by Ralph Ellison Invisible Man Ralph Ellison Ralph Waldo Ellison was born March 1, 1914 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Lewis Alfred and Ida Millsap Ellison. At the beginning of this century, Oklahoma had not been a state for very long and was still considered a part of the frontier. Lewis and Ida Ellison had each grown up in the South to parents who had been slaves. The couple moved out west to Oklahoma hoping the lives of their children would be fueled with a sense of possibility in this state that was reputed for its freedom. Though the prejudices of Texas and Arkansas soon encroached upon Oklahoma, the open spaces and fighting spirit of the people whom Ellison grew up among did provide him with a relatively unbiased atmosphere. The death of Lewis Ellison in 1917 left Ida, Ralph, and his younger brother Herbert quite poor. To support the family, Ida worked as a domestic and stewardess at the Avery Chapel Afro-Methodist Episcopal Church. The family moved into the parsonage and Ellison was brought into close contact with the minister's library. Literature was a destined medium for Ellison, whose father named him after Ralph Waldo Emerson and hoped that he would be a poet. His enthusiasm for reading was encouraged over the years of his youth by his mother bringing books and magazines home for him from the houses she cleaned. In addition, a black episcopal priest in the city challenged the white custom of barring blacks from the public library and the custom was overturned. Ellison's horizons were broadened to a world outside his own sheltered life in Oklahoma City, by the many books now available to him in the library.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Ralph (Waldo) Ellison (1914-1994) African-American writer, teacher, whose novel INVISIBLE MAN (1952) gained a wide critical success. Ellison has been compared to such writers as Melville and Hawthorne. He has used racial issues to express universal dilemmas of identity and self-discovery but avoided taking a straightforward political stand. "Literature is colorblind," he once said. Many artists of the Black Arts movement rejected Ellison for his insistence that America be a land of cultural exchange and synergy. Talented in many fields, Ellison also was an accomplished jazz trumpeter and a free-lance photographer. "''I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me." (from The Invisible Man , prologue) Ellison moved to New York City to study sculpture, but again abandoned his plans when a change meetings with

SOUTH CAROLINIANA LIBRARY UNIVERSITY SOUTH CAROLINIANA SOCIETY MANUSCRIPTS COLLECTIONS Two letters, 1990-1992, Ralph Ellison to Lowry Ware T wo letters, 1990-1992, from novelist Ralph Ellison (1914-1994) to Erskine College history professor Lowry Ware reveal Ellison's profound interest in his South Carolina roots, and especially his "attempts to give order to my grandfather's [Alfred Ellison, of Abbeville] ambiguity as former slave, law man (`magistrate'), farmer-politician, and insightful but unlettered citizen"¾a "crossword puzzle of a legend." In an eight-page typewritten letter of 7 September 1990, Ellison acknowledges Ware's special contribution to the family research ("your gift from my grandfather's past"), remarking that "not only is it one of the most unexpected communications I've ever received, but it does much to fill some of the gaps in my vague knowledge of an ancestor whose story has intrigued me since my childhood." Ellison proceeds to identify his grandfather as "the respected patriarch of a family whose oldest members had migrated to my birthplace in Oklahoma but lived worlds away in South Carolina. Therefore I knew of his existence only through older relatives who endowed his image with an aura of authority that I had no way of grasping." Through an aunt, Ellison had learned that his grandfather "had once had a role in local politics, and that one of his brothers had served in the South Carolina legislature." He speaks of having taken "an abstract pride in being the grandson of the mysterious Alfred Ellison," whom he described from a photograph found among his father's possessions¾"A brown-skinned patriarch with veiled eyes and head of thick dark hair who faced the camera sporting a white goatee that was carefully trimmed in the then current style."

36. Ralph Waldo Ellison A short biography about Ralph Ellison and some links. http://aalbc.com/authors/ellison.htm

The #1 Site for African American Literature Ralph Waldo Ellison, born March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma City, OK; died of cancer, April 16, 1994, in New York, NY; son of Lewis Alfred (a construction worker and tradesman) and Ida (Millsap) Ellison; married Fanny McConnell, July, 1946. Ralph Waldo Ellison, named after the preacher-philosopher Emerson, was born in Oklahoma in 1914. His father [Lewis Alfred (a construction worker and tradesman)] died when he was three years old, and he was brought up by his mother, who worked as domestic help in white households in order to support herself and her two sons. Ellison was highly regarded by both the literary and academic worlds. He was Fellow of the American Academy in Rome from 1955 to 1957 and on his return held several visiting professorships; latterly being Albert Schweitzer Professor in the Humanities at New York University. He received the United States Medal of Freedom in 1969, became Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et Lettres in 1970, and received the National Medal of Arts in 1985. Ralph Ellison died in 1994 [of cancer, April 16, 1994], survived by his wife of forty-eight years [married Fanny McConnell, July, 1946]. In his obituary, The Independent declared him "a great gentleman, indeed a noble man, and the remarkable mythologising author of ... the great American Negro novel."

39. Ralph Ellison As Proletarian Journalist, By Barbara Foley Biography of the author. http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~bfoley/files/foleyreleft2.htm

web hosting domain names photo sharing Ralph Ellison as Proletarian Journalist Barbara Foley from Science and Society , Winter 1998-99 It has become a critical commonplace that, in his unsympathetic portrayal of the Brotherhood in Invisible Man , Ralph Ellison "got it right" about the left, as it were. While Ellison spent some time on the fringes of the Communist Party (CP), the story goes, he was always wary of its motives and, as a black man, skeptical of its class-based politics: he had been close enough to feel the heat, but not close enough to get burned. This view of Ellison as political ingenue has been compounded by the more or less explicitly anticommunist standards of evaluation that critics over the decades have brought to bear upon Invisible Man . Early reviewers and critics, participating in the New Critical backlash against literary proletarianism, praised Ellison for his universalist existential humanism. More recent critics, eager to enlist Ellison in the postmodernist war on totality, have celebrated his subversive tricksterism, his practice as bricoleur , his use of the vernacular presumably to articulate a Bakhtinian resistance to monologistic discourses of all kindsespecially, of course, "Stalinist" Marxism. Appreciation of Ellison's artistry has from the outset been interwoven with praise for his rejection of the left.1
