One of the most distinguished voices in American dramatic criticism, Goldman first served as an instructor in the English department from 1961 to 1963 while he was earning his doctorate from Princeton. He holds undergraduate degrees from Columbia University and Cambridge University. He returned to the Princeton faculty in 1975 after teaching at Columbia and Queens College, City University of New York.
Goldman has written a number of books, including two volumes of poetry and several works of dramatic criticism. His 1973 book, "Shakespeare and the Energies of Drama," was nominated for the National Book Award.
Goldman is one of three people to have twice received the
prestigious George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism:
in 1976 for "The Actor's Freedom: Toward a Theory of Drama";
and in 2000 for "Ibsen: The Dramaturgy of Fear." In
addition, he has been awarded fellowships from the National
Endowment for the Humanities, the Guggenheim Foun-dation and
the American Council of Learned Societies.
