Scott, it's interesting how events conspire to make sense. I am in the midst of a discussion in another place about historicism, starting with Hegel, taking a major stop at Marx, and then moving on to...

Historicism was the prevailing mode of literary criticism (philology) for a very long time. My advisor, for instance, has told me of feeling oppressed by it at Harvard in the 50s. It's never excluded...

To return to the point at hand, Jonathan, do you think the list reasonable and unidiosyncratic? I'm aiming for something of real usefulness here; also, I probably should add something like Professing...

The periodization I employ is the standard one among "Foucault scholars" (whatever that means), myself included. One can certainly understand the distinction vis a vis literary studies -- the more...

hey Scott, I forgot to say - it'd be great to see the idiosyncratic "Scott's historicism" list at some point too. Among other things it'll help any aspiring Kaufman scholars get a leg up. Best, Nate
