"Bellwether: an Interview with J. Hillis Miller by Jeffery J. Williams." MINNESOTA REVIEW 73-74 (2009)
Hillis Miller has been a bellwether of academic literary criticism for the past
fifty years. Trained at Harvard when it was a bastion of the old historicism, he
staked out the newer criticism, drawing especially on Kenneth Burke. In his
first job at Johns Hopkins University, he came to embrace the phenomenological
criticism inspired by Georges Poulet, writing several books that try to capture
the consciousness of a writer and his or her work. Already conversant in
Continental thought, he shifted allegiances to deconstructive criticism by the
early 1970s, inspired by colleagues Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. Over the
past two decades, he has widened his concerns to ethics, the fate of humanistic
education, and the new, digital technologies, especially drawing on the later
Derrida.
