Fred Kaplan (born 1937) is distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. [1]
He was born in 1937 in The Bronx, New York, and attended Lafayette High School and Brooklyn College. [2]
He is the author of several biographies. [3] His book Thomas Carlyle was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, [4] and the Pulitzer Prize. [5]
Kaplan's critical insights into Dickens' work always concentrate on the connections between the life and related fictional projections of the self. The result is a critical reading of Dickens' works at once original and unified, always subordinated to the primary enterprise of biography itself.
