Eric Schocket
Edit ProfileCareer
He wrote primarily on issues of class. In Vanishing Moments: Class and American Literature (University of Michigan Press, 2006), Schocket examined the way in which class-conscious American literature (such as by Herman Melville, Rebecca Harding Davis, William Howells, and Langston Hughes) confronted and addressed the typical American denial of issues of social stratification. Schocket received his Bachelor from the University of California, Berkeley, and his Doctor of Philosophy in American Literature from Stanford University.
