An American Sophist: The Surprising Career of Stanley Fish
Rothman, David J.
Academic Questions, v21 n4 p367-391 Dec 2008
From literary theorist to university administrator to "New York Times" blogger and social critic, Stanley Fish has risen from simple beginnings as a specialist in English Renaissance poetry to ride the ideological foam of all things cutting edge. David Rothman examines the provocative ideas behind the life's work of one of the academy's most celebrated performers. (Contains 18 footnotes.)
