Lionel Trilling
Lionel Mordecai Trilling (July 4, 1905 – November 5, 1975) was an American literary critic, author, and teacher. When Diana Rubin left Paris in 1929 after an extended stay with her childhood friend, Margaret Lefranc, an artist who later received the Governor's Award for painting, Diana married Lionel Trilling the same year. With wife Diana Trilling, he was a member of the New York Intellectuals and contributor to the Partisan Review. He was one of the leading U.S. critics of the twentieth century who traced the contemporary cultural, social, and political implications of literature.
Academic life
Lionel Trilling was born in Queens, New York, the son of Fannie (née Cohen), who was from London, and David Trilling, a tailor from Bialystok in Poland. His family was Jewish. In 1921, he graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School, and, at age sixteen, entered Columbia University, thus beginning a lifelong association with the university. In 1925, he graduated from Columbia College, and, in 1926, earned a Master of Arts degree at the university. He then taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and at Hunter College.

Famous quotes by Lionel Trilling:
"The immature artist imitates. The mature artist steals."
"Where misunderstanding serves others as an advantage, one is helpless to make oneself understood"
"It is now life and not art that requires the willing suspension of disbelief"
"Literature is the human activity that takes the fullest and most precise account of variousness, possibility, complexity, and difficulty"
"The poet may be used as a barometer, but let us not forget that he is also part of the weather"
"The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive."
"Educating a son I should allow him no fairy tales and only a very few novels. This is to prevent him from having 1. the sense of romantic solitude (if he is worth anything he will develop a proper and useful solitude) which identification with the hero gives. 2. cant ideas of right and wrong, absurd systems of honor and morality which never will he be able completely to get rid of, 3. the attainment of ''ideals',' of a priori desires, of a priori emotions. He should amuse himself with fact only: he will then not learn that if the weak younger son do or do not the magical honorable thing he will win the princess with hair like flax."
"We are at heart so profoundly anarchistic that the only form of state we can imagine living in is Utopian; and so cynical that the only Utopia we can believe in is authoritarian."
"Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere."
"We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us"
"There is no connection between the political ideas of our educated class and the deep places of the imagination."
"The poet is in command of his fantasy, while it is exactly the mark of the neurotic that he is possessed by his fantasy."

Lionel Trilling : Freud & Literature | Dr. Vinay Bharat
The "Freud and Literature" is divided into four parts. In part I, he examines the various influences which conditioned Freud's theory of psychology, and also the great and profound influence which Freud has experienced on subsequent writers. Part II is devoted to a consideration of Freud's rationalism and thus to counter the view that Freud was concerned only with the irrational elements in the human consciousness. Part III examines, the utility and relevance of his psychoanalytic technique for the study of art, particularly literature. Part IV-the concluding part- makes an assessment of his contribution and greatness. One is always aware in reading Freud how little cynicism there is in his thought. His desire for man is only that he should be human, and to this end his ...

TRANSCRIPT:
Question: Is LionelrnTrilling still your model of a great critic, as he was when you started?
Louis Menand: Whenrn I was young, I went to college,rnhad a teacher who was, had been a student of Trilling’s at Columbia, rnthis wasrnin California. And he, I started readingrnhim around that time, and then I went to Columbia as well, Trilling was rnstillrnteaching there, I took a course with him. rnHe was not a great teacher, but he was, when I was younger, he rnwas arngood model for the kind of criticism I wanted to do, because he thought rnveryrndialectically. That is to say, herncould see in any particular cultural moment, things that were happening rnandrnthings that were going on that would undermine whatever was happening. He had a very good feel for howrncultural change takes place, and that’s a really complicated question rnthatrncriticism addresses, I think. Sornthat turn of mind that he had is something that really got me interestedrn inrnbeing able to write that way.
Now, I wouldn’t say he’s a model at all for me now,rn andrnprobably has not been somebody I’ve read for a very long time. But when I was young, that was kind ofrnwhat got me interested in doing this kind of writing.
Question: What is therncultural role of a literary critic now?
Louis Menand: Irn think in the, for most of the 20thrncentury, and certainly through the period when I was in school, print rnwas kingrnand literature was thought to be the essence of a society or a rncivilization’srnexpression of itself. You learnedrnFrench literature or you learned British literature or you learned rnAmericanrnliterature because that was a way of understanding that particularrnculture. And I think print is nornlonger king, no duh, and I also think that the idea that there’s such a rnthingrnas a national literature that’s somehow uniquely expressive of a rnnational soulrnor culture or mentality is probably also something that nobody really rnbelievesrnin anymore.
So the kind of criticism that a Trilling could rnpractice orrnan Edmund Wilson could practice in the 1940’s, 1950’s, is obsolete in rnthatrnsense.
Secondly, I think that when Trilling wrote the rnessays inrn“The Liberal Imagination,” which came out in 1950, he was writing for rneducatedrnpeople, most of them not academics, because the book was actually a rnbestsellerrnand bought by people far outside the academy. But it was a readership ofrn peoplernwho believed that your taste in literature or your taste in music or rnyour tasternin painting actually told people something about your values, in rnparticularlyrnyour political values. That’s whatrn“The Liberal Imagination,” that volume, is all about. Irn don’t think people believe that any more, I don’t thinkrnpeople think that it really matters whether you appreciate Henry James rnmorernthan Theodore Dreiser, to use an example that Trilling used, or whether rnyournprefer the Beatles to the Sex Pistols, or whatever the current version rnof thatrnargument is, I think people like to have the argument, but I don’t thinkrn theyrnthink a whole lot turns on which side you come out on.
So to that extent, the job of the critic, as it rnmight havernbeen conceived in the 1950’s or 1960’s, was some kind of role of moral rnarbiterrnfor people, not a huge number of people, but people who were, you know, rnfairlyrneducated, well-placed people. Irndon’t think anybody really thinks of critics as performing that functionrn anyrnmore.

The Lionel Trilling Seminar: Political Fiction, Ancient and Modern: From David's Court to Fabrice's Charterhouse
3/7/16: Robert Alter presents the next installment of the Lionel Trilling Seminar. Herbert Marks and Michael Wood will serve as respondents.
The David story and Stendhal's Charterhouse of Parma, the first narrative very early and the other relatively late in the Western literary tradition, are deeply instructive instances of how the vehicle of fiction can provide insights into the realm of politics. Each in its own way shows the role individual character plays in the gaining and maintaining of power and how the exercise of power affects or distorts character. The biblical story is compellingly grave, Stendhal's novel satiric and sometimes comic, but both manifest an unblinking vision of man as a political animal.

October 20, 2022
Lionel Trilling (1905-75), one of Columbia's most celebrated faculty members, was among the great humanist scholars and public intellectuals of the 20th century. In his memory, The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities sponsors a series of intellectual conversations known as the Lionel Trilling Seminars.
This fall, esteemed literary scholar and theorist Amanda Anderson will deliver a lecture entitled "Political Psychology, Literary Studies, and the Question of Method."
Despite extensive interest over the past few decades in the question of method, the literary field’s informing psychological frameworks are often not subject to much scrutiny, particularly its tendency to privilege psychoanalytic categories drawn from the tradition of Freud, Klein, and Lacan. Taking John Guillory’s Cultural Capital: The Problem of Literary Canon Formation as a case in point, she will explore the ways in which the encounter with the psychological unconscious of the field remains largely deferred thirty years later after the publication of that important study. One consequence of this field condition is that the dominant psychological assumptions continue to have an ineluctable connection to, and constraint on, the field’s political imaginary. By shifting our attention to post-Kleinian object relations (Winnicott, in particular) and Axel Honneth’s work on recognition and respect, we might begin to develop a political psychology more attuned to current challenges and more in line with some of the impulses behind the method debates.
Amanda Anderson is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities and English and Director of the Cogut Institute for the Humanities at Brown University. She is the author, most recently, of Character: Three Inquiries in Literary Study (University of Chicago Press, 2019; with Rita Felski and Toril Moi), Psyche and Ethos: Moral Life after Psychology (Oxford University Press, 2018), and Bleak Liberalism (University of Chicago, 2016).
Respondents:
Nicholas Dames is a specialist in the novel, with particular attention to the novel of the nineteenth century in Britain and on the European continent. His interests include novel theory, the history of reading, and the aesthetics of prose fiction from the seventeenth century to the present. He is the author of Amnesiac Selves: Nostalgia, Forgetting, and British Fiction, 1810-1870 (Oxford University Press, 2001), which was awarded the Sonya Rudikoff Prize by the Northeast Victorian Studies Association; and The Physiology of the Novel: Reading, Neural Science, and the Form of Victorian Fiction (Oxford University Press, 2007).
Nancy Yousef specializes in literature and philosophy of the Romantic era. Her research and teaching are centered in British and European Romanticism, but also extend to eighteenth-century sources and forward into the later nineteenth-century. She is especially interested in the intersections between philosophical writing and literary form and in the relations among aesthetics, ethics, and representation of the emotions. She is the author of three books: Isolated Cases (Cornell University Press, 2004), Romantic Intimacy (Stanford University Press, 2013; winner of the Barricelli Prize), and The Aesthetic Commonplace (Oxford University Press, 2022).

Robert Alter presented the next installment of the Lionel Trilling Seminar on March 7, 2016. Herbert Marks and Michael Wood served as respondents.
The David story and Stendhal's Charterhouse of Parma, the first narrative very early and the other relatively late in the Western literary tradition, are deeply instructive instances of how the vehicle of fiction can provide insights into the realm of politics. Each in its own way shows the role individual character plays in the gaining and maintaining of power and how the exercise of power affects or distorts character. The biblical story is compellingly grave, Stendhal's novel satiric and sometimes comic, but both manifest an unblinking vision of man as a political animal.

The "Freud and Literature" is divided into four parts.
In part I, he examines the various influences which conditioned Freud's theory of psychology, and also the great and profound influence which Freud has experienced on subsequent writers.
Part II is devoted to a consideration of Freud's rationalism and thus to counter the view that Freud was concerned only with the irrational elements in the human consciousness.
Part III examines, the utility and relevance of his psychoanalytic technique for the study of art, particularly literature.
Part IV-the concluding part- makes an assessment of his contribution and greatness.
One is always aware in reading Freud how little cynicism there is in his thought. His desire for man is only that he should be human, and to this end his science is devoted.
Freudian outlook does not narrow and simplify the human world for the artist but on contrary opens and complicates it.

The kind of literary criticism that Lionel Trilling practiced, which assumed that national literatures reflected deep national values, is dead now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Louis Menand:
Louis Menand is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of English at Harvard University. His areas of interest include 19th and 20th century cultural history. His books include the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Metaphysical Club" (2001), "Pragmatism: A Reader" (1996), and "Discovering Modernism: T. S. Eliot and His Context" (1987). His most recent volume, "The Marketplace of Ideas," was published by W. W. Norton & Co. in 2010. He is a staff writer for The New Yorker and contributes frequently to The New York Review of Books and other publications.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
Question: Is LionelrnTrilling still your model of a great critic, as he was when you started?
Louis Menand: Whenrn I was young, I went to college,rnhad a teacher who was, had been a student of Trilling’s at Columbia, rnthis wasrnin California. And he, I started readingrnhim around that time, and then I went to Columbia as well, Trilling was rnstillrnteaching there, I took a course with him. rnHe was not a great teacher, but he was, when I was younger, he rnwas arngood model for the kind of criticism I wanted to do, because he thought rnveryrndialectically. That is to say, herncould see in any particular cultural moment, things that were happening rnandrnthings that were going on that would undermine whatever was happening. He had a very good feel for howrncultural change takes place, and that’s a really complicated question rnthatrncriticism addresses, I think. Sornthat turn of mind that he had is something that really got me interestedrn inrnbeing able to write that way.
Now, I wouldn’t say he’s a model at all for me now,rn andrnprobably has not been somebody I’ve read for a very long time. But when I was young, that was kind ofrnwhat got me interested in doing this kind of writing.
Question: What is therncultural role of a literary critic now?
Louis Menand: Irn think in the, for most of the 20thrncentury, and certainly through the period when I was in school, print rnwas kingrnand literature was thought to be the essence of a society or a rncivilization’srnexpression of itself. You learnedrnFrench literature or you learned British literature or you learned rnAmericanrnliterature because that was a way of understanding that particularrnculture. And I think print is nornlonger king, no duh, and I also think that the idea that there’s such a rnthingrnas a national literature that’s somehow uniquely expressive of a rnnational soulrnor culture or mentality is probably also something that nobody really rnbelievesrnin anymore.
So the kind of criticism that a Trilling could rnpractice orrnan Edmund Wilson could practice in the 1940’s, 1950’s, is obsolete in rnthatrnsense.
Secondly, I think that when Trilling wrote the rnessays inrn“The Liberal Imagination,” which came out in 1950, he was writing for rneducatedrnpeople, most of them not academics, because the book was actually a rnbestsellerrnand bought by people far outside the academy. But it was a readership ofrn peoplernwho believed that your taste in literature or your taste in music or rnyour tasternin painting actually told people something about your values, in rnparticularlyrnyour political values. That’s whatrn“The Liberal Imagination,” that volume, is all about. Irn don’t think people believe that any more, I don’t thinkrnpeople think that it really matters whether you appreciate Henry James rnmorernthan Theodore Dreiser, to use an example that Trilling used, or whether rnyournprefer the Beatles to the Sex Pistols, or whatever the current version rnof thatrnargument is, I think people like to have the argument, but I don’t thinkrn theyrnthink a whole lot turns on which side you come out on.
So to that extent, the job of the critic, as it rnmight havernbeen conceived in the 1950’s or 1960’s, was some kind of role of moral rnarbiterrnfor people, not a huge number of people, but people who were, you know, rnfairlyrneducated, well-placed people. Irndon’t think anybody really thinks of critics as performing that functionrn anyrnmore.

October 20, 2022
Lionel Trilling (1905-75), one of Columbia's most celebrated faculty members, was among the great humanist scholars and public intellectuals of the 20th century. In his memory, The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities sponsors a series of intellectual conversations known as the Lionel Trilling Seminars.
This fall, esteemed literary scholar and theorist Amanda Anderson will deliver a lecture entitled "Political Psychology, Literary Studies, and the Question of Method."
Despite extensive interest over the past few decades in the question of method, the literary field’s informing psychological frameworks are often not subject to much scrutiny, particularly its tendency to privilege psychoanalytic categories drawn from the tradition of Freud, Klein, and Lacan. Taking John Guillory’s Cultural Capital: The Problem of Literary Canon Formation as a case in point, she will explore the ways in which the encounter with the psychological unconscious of the field remains largely deferred thirty years later after the publication of that important study. One consequence of this field condition is that the dominant psychological assumptions continue to have an ineluctable connection to, and constraint on, the field’s political imaginary. By shifting our attention to post-Kleinian object relations (Winnicott, in particular) and Axel Honneth’s work on recognition and respect, we might begin to develop a political psychology more attuned to current challenges and more in line with some of the impulses behind the method debates.
Amanda Anderson is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities and English and Director of the Cogut Institute for the Humanities at Brown University. She is the author, most recently, of Character: Three Inquiries in Literary Study (University of Chicago Press, 2019; with Rita Felski and Toril Moi), Psyche and Ethos: Moral Life after Psychology (Oxford University Press, 2018), and Bleak Liberalism (University of Chicago, 2016).
Respondents:
Nicholas Dames is a specialist in the novel, with particular attention to the novel of the nineteenth century in Britain and on the European continent. His interests include novel theory, the history of reading, and the aesthetics of prose fiction from the seventeenth century to the present. He is the author of Amnesiac Selves: Nostalgia, Forgetting, and British Fiction, 1810-1870 (Oxford University Press, 2001), which was awarded the Sonya Rudikoff Prize by the Northeast Victorian Studies Association; and The Physiology of the Novel: Reading, Neural Science, and the Form of Victorian Fiction (Oxford University Press, 2007).
Nancy Yousef specializes in literature and philosophy of the Romantic era. Her research and teaching are centered in British and European Romanticism, but also extend to eighteenth-century sources and forward into the later nineteenth-century. She is especially interested in the intersections between philosophical writing and literary form and in the relations among aesthetics, ethics, and representation of the emotions. She is the author of three books: Isolated Cases (Cornell University Press, 2004), Romantic Intimacy (Stanford University Press, 2013; winner of the Barricelli Prize), and The Aesthetic Commonplace (Oxford University Press, 2022).
Introduction by Eileen Gillooly, Executive Director of the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities.

Lionel Trilling
Lionel Mordecai Trilling (July 4, 1905 – November 5, 1975) was an American literary critic, author, and teacher. When Diana Rubin left Paris in 1929 after an extended stay with her childhood friend, Margaret Lefranc, an artist who later received the Governor's Award for painting, Diana married Lionel Trilling the same year. With wife Diana Trilling, he was a member of the New York Intellectuals and contributor to the Partisan Review. He was one of the leading U.S. critics of the twentieth century who traced the contemporary cultural, social, and political implications of literature.
Academic life
Lionel Trilling was born in Queens, New York, the son of Fannie (née Cohen), who was from London, and David Trilling, a tailor from Bialystok in Poland. His family was Jewish. In 1921, he graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School, and, at age sixteen, entered Columbia University, thus beginning a lifelong association with the university. In 1925, he graduated from Columbia College, and, in 1926, earned a Master of Arts degree at the university. He then taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and at Hunter College.
