BackgroundJames Hancock Rorty was born March 30, 1890, in Middletown, New York. His parents were Irish immigrants Octavia Churchill and Richard McKay Rorty. His father was a political refugee with Fenian and anarchist affiliations from Donegal, Ireland. In 1913, he earned a BA from Tufts College. He pursued graduate studies at New York University and The New School for Social Research.[1][2][4][6] CareerIn 1913, he began his career with work in the advertising industry. He also worked in settlement houses.[2][3] During World War I, Rorty served as a stretcher bearer on the Argonne front, an experience that led him to become a "militant pacifist."[1][2][3][4][6] Rorty worked a journalist, poet for more than sixty years. He considered himself "the last of the muckrakers" as a combatant against social injustice in America.[1][4][6] During World War I, Rorty moved to San Francisco to continue his career in advertising and to write experimental poetry.[2] In 1925, Rorty moved to New York City, where he was a founding editor (with Michael Gold, Joseph Freeman, Hugo Gellert, John Sloan, and others) of the New Masses, a Communist literary magazine, which launched the following year. However, Rorty left that next year when fellow editors rejected his publication of Robinson Jeffers's poem "Apology for Bad Dreams."[1][2][3] In 1927, Rorty was one of many arrested during protests against execution by electrocution of Sacco and Vanzetti.[2] To earn money, he also worked as an editor, journalist, advertising copy writer, and consultant for the Tennessee Valley Authority.[4] In 1932, he supported and then quit the campaign to support William Z. Foster (CPUSA) for U.S. president.[1] Personal and deathAround 1919, Rorty married Maria Ward Lambin; they were divorced in 1928. The same year, he married writer Winifred Rauschenbush (daughter of Christian socialist Walter Rauschenbusch; they had one son, philosopher Richard Rorty.[1][2][3][4] He suffered from depression.[6] Rorty died age 82 on February 26, 1973, in Sarasota, Florida.[1][4] WorksIn the mid-1950s, Rorty co-authored with Moshe Decter a book attacking McCarthyism called McCarthy and the Communists, supported by the American Committee for Cultural Freedom.[1] Books include:
