Parker, Dorothy
(pen name of Dorothy Rothschild). Born Aug. 22, 1893, in West End, N.J.; died June 7, 1967, in New York. American writer. Parker presented a satiric portrait of bourgeois mores in her poetry (the collections Enough Rope, 1926, and Sunset Gun, 1928), as well as in her short stories (for example, the collections Laments for the Living, 1930, and After Such Pleasures, 1933). These works are permeated with contempt for the hypocrisy, banality, egoism, and mercenary quality of the bourgeois milieu. In the 1920’s and 1930’s, Parker took part in the progressive movement of American intellectuals; during the McCarthy period, she was persecuted. WORKSConstant Reader.
