Abstract:
This collection documents Stanley Fish's professional career as a literary theorist and academic. Materials are largely textual--including primarily drafts of his writings, publications, and clippings and photocopies for teaching and research purposes--and range in coverage from his early student work to his most recent professional activities and publications. The collection also includes a limited amount of correspondence and many audio recordings, the latter of which document his activities as a public intellectual and teacher. Although each period of Fish's career is represented in collection materials, documentation from his time at Duke University is strongest. Materials documenting his activity as an administrator--department chair at Johns Hopkins and Duke, executive director of Duke Univeristy Press, and dean at the University of Illinois at Chicago--are very limited.
Language:
English.
