The Marxian Hermeneutics of Fredric Jameson (American University Studies. Series III, Comparative Literature ; Vol. 49)

The Marxian Hermeneutics of Fredric Jameson examines the critical thought of Jameson in relation to phenomenological hermeneutics and the critical theorists of the Frankfurt Institute.  This study includes chapters on Jameson's work from the 1960s to the early 1990s, focusing on figures who influenced his thought such as Augustine, Northrop Frye, Goethe, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Theodor W. Adorno, and Walter Benjamin.  Jameson's thought is also situated within the history of Comparative Literature in the U.S. academy and in relation to the rise of postcolonial studies.
