An analysis of the significance of literature in the work of one of
America's most influential contemporary philosophers. Stanley
Cavell is widely recognized as one of America's most important
contemporary philosophers, and his legacy and writings continue to
attract considerable attention among literary critics and
theorists. Stanley Cavell and the Claim of Literature
comprehensively addresses the importance of literature in Cavell's
philosophy and, in turn, the potential effect of his philosophy on
contemporary literary criticism. David Rudrum dedicates a chapter
to each of the writers that principally occupy Cavell, including
Shakespeare, Thoreau, Beckett, Wordsworth, Ibsen, and Poe, and
incorporates chapters on tragedy, skepticism, ethics, and politics.
Through detailed analysis of these works, Rudrum explores Cavell's
ideas on the nature of reading; the relationships among literary
language, ordinary language, and performative language; the status
of authors and characters; the link between tragedy and ethics; and
the nature of political conversation in a democracy.
