	Diana Trilling’s “Journey,” by Hilton Kramer
		Trilling to “neutralize” her penchant for criticism, whether in regard to literature or about life itself, for Freudian analysis is nothing if not a system that compels its acolytes to render the fiercest judgments on those nearest and dearest to them.
		Trilling’s own account, her husband was exhausting himself with an overload of teaching and writing in order to support his parents, who were impoverished by the Depression, while his troubled wife frittered away a small legacy from her father on a fruitless pursuit of Freudian nirvana.
		Trilling’s unassailable faith in the ethos and efficacy of the psychoanalytical enterprise shields her from the least glimmer of understanding the moral violence she has inflicted upon the memory of the man she clearly adored.

	Robert Fulford's review of two Lionel Trilling books
		Lionel Trilling, the unquestioned prince of American literary intellectuals fifty years ago, said that remark certainly applied to him.
		What set Trilling apart from even his most talented contemporaries was his way of drawing subtle lines of understanding between literature and crucial aspects of current life, including education, relations between the sexes, and political allegiances.
		James Trilling, his son, 50 years old, reported that he had suffered all his life from attention deficit disorder, or ADD, and that he had decided Lionel was a victim of the same condition.

	Waggish: Lionel Trilling and Sigmund Freud
		Arnold exalted an elitist culture, and Trilling appears to pursue the same end through the route of psychodynamics: the rational and measured examination of the irrational structure of the mind, before which we stand in awe.
		Trilling's position is that cultural alienation is indubitably bad and that only through a shared effort in the tradition of the pragmatists and mythmakers like Lewis Mumford is there hope.
		The Jaynes/Trilling comparison is not precise, but the extremity of it should at least indicate a problem with Trilling, who at the end of the day is holding out a promise of meaning-in-struggle that is usually the domain of philosophers and demagogues.

		Lionel Trilling's profound attachment to Freud and his interest in mental illness seems ironically apt in light of James Trilling's review of his father's life.
		Trilling's critical insight in the late 1940s thus revealed what postmodernists a couple of decades later would identify as a fatal weakness of modernism.
		Trilling asserted the weighty importance of Fitzgerald's fiction with no hesitation and no ambiguity--and well in advance of the wave of critical affirmation of Fitzgerald that would come in the 1950s.

		...Trilling's criticism of hubris appears in those of his essays which have been most criticized, and are among his best, like his essays on Jane Austen's Emma and Mansfield Park and Henry James's The Bostonians, pieces in which he is said to have yielded to the promptings of the conservative imagination...

	Amardeep Singh: Lionel Trilling: Criticism as the Pursuit of Complexity
		In the lines just before this passage, Trilling has been talking about Wordsworth's turn against the radical politics of the French Revolution during the Reign of Terror as a possible model for Eliot, in the latter's antagonistic relationship with the Anglo-American left in the 1930s.
		Trilling would equally value the pursuit of complexity to anyone engaged in artistic creation or serious criticism of the arts.
		And in the essay on liberalism, Trilling spends quite a number of pages praising John Stuart Mill (an early 19th century liberal, and one of the architects of 19th century philosophy of utilitarianism) for praising Coleridge's Establishment conservatism.

	Robert Fulford's column about Lionel Trilling and the New York intellectuals
		James Trilling, the art-historian son of the great literary critic Lionel Trilling, has staked out a unique place for himself among writers of perverse and pathetic Oedipal memoirs.
		Trilling wrote a PhD dissertation on Matthew Arnold that became his first book, he wrote a fine novel of ideas, Middle of the Journey, and, over the years, his essays became famous for their thoughtful braiding of literary, social and political ideas.
		Lionel built his career, argues James, on the mistrust of certainties: "He was most comfortable exploring implications, ambiguities, cultural states of mind.

		Trilling's memorable essays on Sherwood Anderson (1941) and on V. Parrington and his disciples (1940 and 1946), all of which appear in The Liberal Imagination, are in this vein--though there is little of the demotic in Trilling's Arnoldian manner.
		Of course, there is always the danger of confusing the genuine critical and historical insights of the New York writers' "dissent from modernism" and, by extension, Postmodernism with the vulgarization of these insights in neoconservative diatribes against "the new class" and its literary representatives.

	The Moral Obligation To Be Intelligent
		In 1975, Lionel Trilling died, at the height of his reputation and influence as America’s foremost literary and cultural critic.
		Fortunately, Trilling was survived by his remarkable wife, Diana, who wrote an extraordinarily affecting memoir of their marriage, The Beginning of the Journey, and who encouraged Leon Wieseltier, literary editor of the New Republic, to assemble a new collection of her husband’s essays.
		Trilling thought he detected a "chronic American belief that there exists an opposition between reality and mind, and that one must enlist oneself in the party of reality." Which usually meant the revolutionary or, as we now more soberly say, the progressive party.

		Trilling wants something like the consciousness of sin injected into liberalism, and the "job of criticism" is thus the moral critic's job of raising our awareness of humankind's fallen state, something for which Trilling finds literature eminently useful.

		Such was Trilling's reputation that students of all kinds were known to come to the College expressely to "take Trilling." A native of Queens, he entered Columbia in 1921, when the College was beginning to experiment with general education courses.
		Trilling's dispassionate commitment to the life of the mind fell out of favor with some students in the hectic days of the late 1960s and early 1970s, but at the time of his death in 1975, there was no mistaking his importance in the life of Columbia College.
