A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University Contents: Vol. 121, No. 3, 1977; Vol. 121, No. 4, 1977; Vol. 121, No. 5, 1977; Vol. 122, No. 1, 1978; Vol. 122, No. 2, 1978; Vol. 122, No. 3 1978; Vol. 122, No. 4, 1978; Vol. 122, No. 5, 1978; Vol. 122, No. 6, 1978; Vol. 123, No. 1, 1979; Vol. 123, No. 2, 1979; Vol. 123, No. 3, 1979; Vol. 123, No. 4, 1979; Vol. 123, No. 6, 1979.
