As literary editor of The New Republic from 1929 to 1944, with a generally leftist position on cultural questions, he played a significant part in many of the literary and political battles of the Depression years... Cowley revived the literary reputation of William Faulkner with his editing of the anthology The Portable Faulkner (1946). - Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literaturemore
