J. HILLIS MILLER. LITERATURE, CULTURE, THEORY AND THE WORLD

J. Hillis Miller’s work is some of the most important for the study of literature and comparative literature from the end of the Second World War to the present. He is a distinct reader and writer, a critic, theorist, scholar and teacher of the highest order. Although associated with phenomenology and deconstruction, the so-called Geneva School and Yale School, Miller was above all a close and careful reader of works or texts in pœtry and prose, fiction and non-fiction. This collection explores Miller’s significant contributions to literature, culture, theory and the world, including literature, translation and culture in and between the United States and China.
