Joel Fineman was considered one of the most brilliant literary critics of his generation, gifted in doing what the Russian formalists called making strange. His essays are among the strongest demonstrations of how structureswhether linguistic, visual, or architecturalgenerate large and elaborate systems of meaning. Using examples drawn from literatureChaucer, Shakespeare, Oscar WildeFineman creates parables of how language has come to constitute the modern subject (ourselves) as a set of its effects. Combining formidable learning with theoretical sophistication that is at once philosophical, linguistic, and psychoanalytical, Fineman draws from the most familiar work verbal details that lead to startling new interpretations, challenging Freud or making original applications of Lacan. The repercussion of his writings on theory and on nonliterary discourse is considerable, particularly among critics engaged in showing how artistic practice can be understood, structurally, to signify.EssaysThe Structure of Allegorical Desire The Significance of Literature: The Importance of Being Earnest The Pas de Calais: Freud, the Transference, and the Sense of Woman's Humor The History of the Anecdote: Fiction and Fiction Shakespeare's Perjur'd Eye The Turn of the Shrew The Sound of 0 in Othello: The Real of the Tragedy of Desire Shakespeare's Will: The Temporality of Rape Shakespeare's Ear
