Waldo Frank
Waldo David Frank (August 25, 1889, Long Branch, New Jersey – January 9, 1967, White Plains, New York) was a prolific American novelist, historian, literary and social critic, publishing in ''The New Yorker'' and ''The New Republic'' by the 1920s. Best known for his studies of Spanish and Latin American literature and culture, he lectured in Latin America in 1929, and returned in the 1940s. Frank served as chairman of the First Americans Writers Congress (April 26–28, 1935)〔 and became the first president of the League of American Writers. He is considered a cultural bridge between the United States and Latin America.〔 ==Early life and education== Frank was born in Long Branch, New Jersey in 1889 (during his family's summer vacation) as the youngest of four children to Julius J. Frank, a successful attorney for the Hamburg-Amerika Line, and his wife Helene (Rosenberg) Frank, from the South. They were upper class and largely secular or cultural Jews; his father belonged to the Society for Ethical Culture. The young Frank grew up on the Upper West Side of New York.〔 He had a precocious intellect and spirituality.〔 He was expelled from high school for refusing to take a Shakespeare course, saying that he knew more than the teacher. He completed boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland. When he returned to the United States, he took a B.A. and an M.A. from Yale University, completing his graduate degree in 1911.
