From
The World Viewed to
Cities of Words, writing about movies was strand over strand with Stanley Cavell’s philosophical work. Cavell was one of the first philosophers in the United States to make film a significant focus of his thought, and William Rothman has long been one of his most astute readers.
The Holiday in His Eye collects Rothman’s writings about Cavell—many of them previously unpublished—to offer a lucid, serious introduction to and overview of Cavell’s work, the influence of which has been somewhat limited by both the intrinsic difficulty of his ideas and his challenging prose style. In these engaging and accessible yet philosophically serious and rigorously argued essays, Rothman presents an original, insightful, and compelling vision of the trajectory of Cavell’s oeuvre, one that takes Cavell’s kinship with Emerson as inextricably bound up with his ever-deepening thinking about movies.
