  • The New Death

    Reed Way DasenbrockARTICLEAmerican Literature2018

    These three first books, all with American modernism in their titles, provide an interesting snapshot of modernist studies. Although the terrain and the arguments of these studies are each quite different, there are some similarities of style and methodology. First, although each does discuss important canonical works of literature, each also ranges freely across genres and juxtaposes texts that all readers are likely to know with texts that few …

  • Imitation versus Contestation

    Reed Way DasenbrockARTICLECallaloo2005

    Imitation versus Contestation:Walcott's Postcolonial Shakespeare Reed Way Dasenbrock (bio) A great deal has been written already on the topic of Shakespeare and the postcolonial. A number of postcolonial writers and theorists have marked out positions vis-á-vis Shakespeare, and one can make two broad generalizations concerning this body of material. First, postcolonial theory has largely presented the postcolonial as in opposition to the classic.…

  • Reading Demanians Reading de Man

    Open AccessReed Way DasenbrockARTICLESouth Central Review1994

    Now that the dust has begun to settle after the furor surrounding the discovery after Paul de Man's death in 1983 of his war-time journalism in Nazi-occupied Belgium, it is time to ask what there is to learn from the entire affair aside from the reminder that academics like a good fight as much as everyone else. Certainly, part of what fueled the intensity of the controversy was the sense that the reputation of deconstruction (and, in a sense, li…

    Open AccessReed Way DasenbrockARTICLESouth Central Review1989

    Over the past year and a half, controversy has reigned over the implications of the discovery after Paul de Man's death that this famous and revered literary critic, Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University, wrote during World War II for a number of pro-Nazi, collaborationist newspapers in Belgium, most notably the daily Le Soir published in Brussels. What strikes me about the controversy, as my title should suggest, is that the discus…

  • Accounting for the Changing Certainties of Interpretive Communities

    Reed Way DasenbrockARTICLEModern Language Notes1986

    One overarching question in critical theory seems to me to subsume within it many specific disputes such as those over the determinacy of meaning and the possibility of a correct interpretation of a text. That is the question of how to account for the changing certainties of interpretive communities. The history of the criticism of any work of literature reveals that each reader in turn advances his own reading of the text and argues for its uneq…
