Daniel Fineman received his
B.A. from Franklin & Marshall College. His M.A. and
Ph. D. were obtained from Princeton University. His
primary fields of interest are American Literature
and Literary Theory. The individual authors who have
garnered most of his time are Melville and
Dickinson. His secondary fields are gender studies,
film, photography, science fiction, and British
Literature. His publications and presentations have
been scattered in these areas. While often
over-committed to campus politics, Professor Fineman
now tries to apply more of his academic energy to
his teaching and writing. His greatest pleasures and
fascinations resides with his wife and two
daughters. Whatever emotional energy remains tends
to be quickly absorbed by his cats and dogs. In
July, he will usually be found in Port Orford,
Oregon where he is preoccupied not by the glorious
scenery but by repairs to the hut he there calls
home. Professor Fineman sometimes mistakenly
believes he has a "philosophical" sense of humor,
but this additional flaw may be ignored without fear
of substantial reprisal.
