George Steiner
George Steiner was a French-American literary critic, essayist, philosopher, and educator renowned for his intellectually expansive exploration of language, literature, and culture.
Multilingual from childhood, he studied at the University of Chicago, Harvard, and Oxford, later holding prestigious academic posts at Geneva, Cambridge, and Harvard.
His most influential works, including After Babel and The Death of Tragedy, examined language's power, the ethics of literature, and the Holocaust's cultural consequences.
Celebrated for his charismatic, prophetic lecturing style and contributions to major literary journals, Steiner remains one of the twentieth century's most significant comparative literature scholars.
