His trilogy beginning with Love and Death in the American Novel (1960) analyzed American fiction in terms of its embodied archetypes and cultural myths; his later work located such myths in popular art. A University of Wisconsin PhD, he taught at the University of Montana (1941–64) and in 1964 joined the faculty of the State University of New York at Buffalo. |
