Norman N. Holland: The Dean of American Psychoanalytic Literary Critics: Psychoanalytic Horizons

Autor Jeffrey Berman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 mar 2021
Norman Holland was unquestionably the leading 20th-century American psychoanalytic literary critic. Long known as the Dean of American psychoanalytic literary critics, Holland produced an enormous body of scholarship that appeals to both neophytes in the field and advanced researchers, many of whom have been influenced by his writings. Holland was one of the first proponents of reader-response criticism, the theorist of readers' identity themes, and the author of fifteen books that have become classics in the field. Jeffrey Berman analyzes all of Holland's books, and many of his 250 scholarly articles, highlighting continuities and discontinuities in the critic's thinking over time. A controversial if not polarizing figure, Holland is discussed in relation to his closest colleagues, including Murray Schwartz, Bernard Paris, and Leslie Fiedler, as well as his fiercest critics, among them Frederick Crews, David Bleich, and Jonathan Culler, creating a dynamic and personal portrait. Insofar as this text illuminates the evolving mind of a premier literary critic, it produces a parallel profile of the American reader, the primary object of Holland's extensive work.

Recenzii

Jeffrey Berman's brilliant critical biography of Norman Holland is a major contribution to the history of 20th-century criticism and should be on the desk of anyone interested in how the debates about the function and meaning of literature shifted during this tumultuous period. Comprehensive, well-written, and as engaging as Norman Holland was as a critic and a personality.
Jeffrey Berman has accomplished an immense task; he has written an appealing and very personal study of Norman Holland, engaging with his subject in a way that both elaborates convincingly the unusual trajectory of Holland's career as the leading psychoanalytic literary critic of the sixties and beyond, but also takes issue with some of Holland's positions. Meticulously engaging Holland extensive oeuvre, Berman moves through the various stages of Holland's criticism from new critical to psychoanalytic to his final commitment to reader response theory, celebrating Holland's achievement but also pointing out Holland's contradictions and weaknesses. Indeed, Berman analyzes Holland not only as a critic but as a person, reading for example, Holland's interpretations of Shakespeare as projections of Holland's own personality. Even more unusual, Berman establishes a personal relationship with Holland during the course of the book describing his own personal encounters with Holland as an undergraduate student and later as a fellow academic to whom he felt close. Finding his subject witty, engaging, insightful, playful, but also at times condescending and cutting, Berman presents an extraordinary personal and complex portrait of an extraordinary and complex critic as well as a comprehensive tour of his works.
