The opposing selves of Lionel Trilling

Article Abstract:

Lionel Trilling's reputation can be attributed to his position as an eminent professor at Columbia and an important member of the anti-Stalinist group. The rise of some of his students as successful poets also contributed to his prominence. He is rated as one of the most influential American cultural critic of the twentieth century. He also had the privilege of becoming the first recognized Jew in the English department of the country's premier university. The shock of his demise, in November 1975, was felt in America and other parts of the world.
