George Dennison, 62; novelist, authority on alternative education
George Dennison, a noted short story writer, novelist and educational expert, died Thursday in his home in Temple, Maine. He was 62. Mr. Dennison had been ill since January with lung cancer.
He first came to national prominence in 1969 with the publication of "The Lives of Children," his account of the daily lives shared by a group of advantaged and disadvantaged children and their teachers at the First Street School on New York's Lower East Side. The school had been founded by Mr. Dennison's wife, Mabel Chrystle, and Mr. Dennison taught there. The book was translated and published throughout the world and much of what Mr. Dennison argued became a staple of the movement for alternative education.
In the 1970s his plays, poems and fiction began to appear in leading literary magazines. A collection of his stories was published in 1979 under the title "Oilers and Sweepers." This was followed by two longer works, "Shawno" in 1984 and "Luisa Domic" in 1985. Another collection of his stories and novellas was released by Harper & Row last spring as "A Tale of Pierrot and Other Stories." He also published a children's book, "And Then a Harvest Feast", and several plays.
The setting for Mr. Dennison's fiction was sometimes rural Maine, sometimes the literary, artistic and intellectual scene of New York City, which he had come to regard as a lost world. The poet Hayden Carruth has written: "George Dennison possesses that rarest of qualities .... a Tolstoyan mind. His stories . . . tell us out lives with the force of myth. On the page, In the newness of their beautiful style, they appear already as claslc works to be read, absorbed and recalled over and over again."
Mr. Dennison was born in Georgia and raised In the suburbs of Pittsburgh In a time and place that, he said, "allowed us young ones incredible freedom." After graduation from high school, where he was a star athlete, he entered the Navy and was sent to engineering school at Columbia University. After World War II. he continued his education In the humanities at the New School for Social Research and New York University, studying with William Troy and Meyer Shapiro while supporting himself In a variety of blue-collar Jobs. "I liked the people I encountered in that work." he said, "but ... I had no choice: The decorum and subservience of white-collar jobs were intolerable to me."
During the 1950s and 1960s, Mr. Dennison wrote book reviews and art criticism and his plays were produced by the Judson Poets' Theatre In Manhattan. He trained as a psychotherapist under Paul Goodman at the Institute of Gestalt Therapy. Soon after that he began teaching at the First Street School. He moved permanently to Maine in 1971.
Mr. Dennison leaves his wife and three children, Susan, Rebecca and Michael Dennison, all of Temple.
