Hi! Thanks for an interesting question. I have found the following authors with three word names. William Carlos Williams http://fathom.com/story/story.jhtml?story_id=17249 Robert Penn Warren http://www.poets.org/poets/poets.cfm?prmID=17 John Crowe Ransom http://www.poets.org/poets/poets.cfm?prmID=12 The American Authors website provides a great list of American Authors. I have taken a list for the 20th century only. Victor Francis Calverton John Van Druten Alfred Bertram Guthrie, Jr. Francis Otto Matthiessen Philip Gordon Wylie Jonathan Worth Daniels James Gould Cozzens Walter Dumaux Edmonds James Thomas Farrell Issac Bashevis Singer Robert Penn Warren John Dickson Carr Robert Penn Warren Robert Ervin Howard Jesse Hilton Stuart Robert Anson Heinlein James Albert Michener Frank Callan Norris Paul Hamilton Engle Frank Gill Slaughter August William Derleth Walter van Tilburg Chester Bomar Himes Wright Marion Morris Herman Northrop Frye William Motter Inge John Frederick Nims John Richard Hersey Ralph Waldo Ellison Haward Melvin Fast Budd Wilson Schulberg John Horne Burns Frank Garvin Yerby Peter Robert Viereck John Malcolm Brinnin John Holbrook Vance William Pène du Bois Robert Edwin Lee Jerome David Salinger Richard Purdy Wilbur William Thomas Gaddis Archie Randolph Ammons James Patrick Donleavy James Arlington Wright Edward Franklin Albee Stanley Lawrence Elkin Bruce Jay Friedman Edgar Lawrence Doctorow Robert Lowell Coover Imamu Amiri Baraka William Melvin Kelley Arthur Lee Kopit Ishmael Scott Reed John Winslow Irving Stephen Edwin King William Ford Gibson Birth and death dates are also available from the websites plus more links to biographical information and literary works. “American Authors on the Web” http://lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~matsuoka/AmeLit.html#1900 Search terms used: American Authors list "20th century" I hope these links would help you in your research.

Are you looking for authors who normally go by all three names? Most people in the US in the twentieth century have three names, but don't necessarily use all three. Several authors on the list for example are usually referred to be something shorter than their full three names, such as J D Salinger or E L Doctorow, who normally use just initials or Stephen King or Robert Heinlein who are usually just referred to by their first and last names (or perhaps with a middle initial, such as Robert A. Heinlein). Some on the other hand, are generally referred to by their full three names, such as Erle Stanley Gardner or Robert Penn Warren. Is the latter category what you are looking for? Also there are some on the list with van as one of the words. This is usually considered part of the last name, not a separate middle name. |

Only authors that go by all three names. As you pointed out many have 3 names but use only two. I was looking for those that use all three names. Thanks |
