In the first part, Morris Dickstein, Jason Epstein, Barbara Epstein, David Bromwich, Jed Perl, and Mark Krupnick comment on Wilson’s premises as a critic: his faith in reason, his version of modernism and eclectic interest in the arts, and his interest in Judaism–as a Protestant of Puritan stock who rejected Christianity. Two of Wilson’s important works, his study of the Marxist intellectual tradition in ^ITo the Finland Station^N and of Civil War literature in ^IPatriotic Gore^N, anchor discussion in the third part, which includes David Remnick, Daniel Aaron, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Randall Kennedy, and Andrew Delbanco joined from the floor by Toni Morrison and others.
