The article examines Fredric Jameson's early career and its connection to literary theory's rise during the 1960s and 1970s.
This article situates the early career of Fredric Jameson in relation to the emergence of (literary} theory as a movement in the 1960s and 1970s. It does so through the perspective of the author, who is a decade Jameson's junior, as he found his own path toward conversation and colleagueship with Jameson. It touches on the puzzle of Jameson's years at Harvard (1959–67), where the author was a student (1963–73).
