Sad, but he was 89. Definitely a positive contributor to our heritage, though very unusual at times. I believe Paglia did her doctorate under him (and it shows).
I heard him lecture in the 90s on Shakespeare. Pretty incredible, really. And he was always delightfully opinionated.
It does not uphold the ideals of the Communist Party and besides Shakespeare is best read in the original Klingon.
Loved this guy. I have so many of his books. A good run. Amazing he taught his last class less than a week ago.
“Resentniks” New word for me and I will be using it as often as I possibly can. I am also looking up one of the books pictured for my Kindle. I need to read that.
