From Identity Mashup

Lewis Hyde is a cultural critic with a special interest in the public life of the imagination. His 1983 book, The Gift, is an enquiry into the situation of creative artists in a commercial society. His more recent work, Trickster Makes This World (1998), is a portrait of the the kind of disruptive imagination needed to keep any culture flexible and lively. A MacArthur fellow, Hyde is currently the Richard L. Thomas Professor of Creative Writing at Kenyon College and a Fellow of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School
