The Claremont Institute is sad to announce the death of our friend and contributor, Paul A. Cantor (1945-2022).
Cantor was the Clifton Waller Barrett Professor of English at the University of Virginia. He wrote on a wide range of topics, including economics, philosophy, pop culture, poetry, and Shakespeare. His books include Shakespeare’s Rome: Republic and Empire, Gilligan Unbound: Pop Culture in the Age of Globalization, Literature and the Economics of Liberty, Shakespeare’s Roman Trilogy and Pop Culture and the Dark Side of the American Dream: Con Men, Gangsters, Drug Lords, and Zombies, among others.
