Summary

"In the spirit of Yeats, his tutelary figure, Daniel T. O'Hara gauges the state of America's imperial anarchy and puts forth an imaginative response, compounded from Foucault, Lacan, and Henry James. This is a defense of literature like no other."--Jonathan Arac, Columbia University

Author Biography

Daniel T. O'Hara is a professor of English and the editor of The Faculty Herald at Temple University.
