Reviews and comments on Life Against Death, 1950-1973

The Norman O. Brown papers consist of documents pertaining to Norman O. Brown’s various publications, namely Life Against Death and Love’s Body – both of which are published by Wesleyan University Press – as well as “Apocalypse,” an address given by Norman O. Brown to the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity at Columbia University, published by Harper’s magazine, and his book Closing Time. The majority of the collection is made up of drafts of the two books and correspondence, much of which can be considered “fan mail,” although critics can be found as well.
