Peter Uwe Hohendahl (born 1936) is a literary and intellectual historian and theorist. He served as the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of German Studies at Cornell University, where he is now a professor emeritus. Career Hohendahl’s early work focused on methodological questions in the field of sociology of literature. His first book, influenced by the early Lukacs and Adorno, uses a thematic approach to explore the impact of a modern industrial society on the structure of Expressionist drama. During the 1970s his research is preoccupied with the public function of literary criticism. Hohendahl explores the structure of the literary public sphere and the role of literary criticism in modern society.
