Enlarging America: The Cultural Work of Jewish Literary Scholars, 1930-1990 (Chap. 8 "Refractions of Lionel Trilling")
by Susanne Klingenstein. 492 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

In this groundbreaking study, the author examines the gradual opening of literary academe to Jewish faculty and analyzes the critical work Jewish scholars undertook to achieve their integration into an exclusive WASP domain.
Beginning her story at Harvard University, Klingenstein describes the unique intellectual paths taken by scholars such as Harry Levin, Daniel Aaron, M. H. Abrams, Leo Marx, and Sacvan Bercovitch. At Columbia University, Klingenstein argues that the singular Jewish presence of Lionel Trilling shaped the minds and inspired the careers of Jewish intellectuals as different as Cynthia Ozick, Norman Podhoretz, Steven Marcus, and Carolyn Heilbrun.
Once Jewish scholars had attained a strong foothold in literary academe, pioneering spirits such as Robert Alter and Ruth R. Wisse turned their attention from English and American to Jewish literature in Hebrew and Yiddish.
Written as an interconnected series of twelve lucid and compelling portraits of major figures in the history ofAmerican literary criticism, this book illuminates the element of serendipity in culture-formation and exposes the social and intellectual forces at work in cultural change.

American Literature, American Culture (Chap. 3.3 "Reality in America" by Lionel Trilling)
by Gordon Hutner. 612 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

American Literature, American Culture is the first anthology of American literary criticism to appear in many years. Its focus is the tradition of American literary criticism as cultural critique and includes essays which debate the social and political importance of American writing. These documents draw from the early years of the republic, through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Their shared concerns are the terms on which a national literature might be based, the complications of gender and class and the challenges posed by race in identifying a national cultural identity. The anthology also features a substantial selection of recent essays.

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

In the Mainstream represents the second in a multi-volume study of the Jewish American as both writer and character in our nation's literature. This book focuses on the period from 1950 to the 1980s. The author provides abundant evidence that by the end of the 1950s, Jewish writers had achieved full status in the realm of American fiction. His study examines precursors and strains of influence relating to this development, with special attention to the influence occasioned by Menorah Journal, Partisan Review, and Commentary.

The Culture of Criticism and the Criticism of Culture (Chap. 2 "The Moral Imagination in Modern American Criticism")
by Giles Gunn. 211 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Giles Gunn's challenging new work is at once a passionately argued defense of the kind of moral reflection once associated in America with the writings of Lionel Trilling and Edmund Wilson and an acknowledgment that this pragmatic legacy must be reevaluated in the light of challenges posed by structuralist and post-structuralist theory. Gunn's perceptive analysis, which includes lengthy discussions of such thinkers as Kenneth Burke, Clifford Geertz, Mikhail Bakhtin, Richard Rorty, Trilling, and Wilson, challenges the assumptions of modern criticism with a revised interpretation of pragmatism and its critical legacy. Part critical analysis, part philosophical argument, part literary and cultural history, this work is a carefully delineated vision of what criticism actively engaged in its society can accomplish.
