==Bio==
Born in Louisiana, Meisel grew up in New York, attending public schools in Dobbs Ferry and then the Horace Mann School. He entered Yale in the late 1960s, where he received his BA in English and History in 1970. He taught at Yale the following year as a Carnegie Fellow. He received his PhD at Yale in English in 1975, writing on Virginia Woolf under the direction of J. Hillis Miller. In graduate school, Meisel taught at Yale and Wesleyan; he also wrote on rock and jazz for ''Crawdaddy!'' and ''The Boston Phoenix''. In 1972, he published his first book, a study of Thomas Hardy's fiction.
Meisel came to New York University in 1975 and was an important champion of New York's downtown scene as well as of the structuralist and post-structuralist theory of Barthes, Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, and Althusser. In 1975, he also began writing for ''The Village Voice'', covering rock and jazz for music editor Robert Christgau and a variety of topics for arts editor Richard Goldstein. In 1978, Meisel was a charter Fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities, co-ordinating a reading group on theory whose members included Rosalind Krauss and Susan Sontag. In 1980, he published ''The Absent Father'', a study of Virginia Woolf's aestheticism and, in 1981, edited a collection of essays on Freud as literature. That year, Meisel was awarded tenure at NYU. In 1985, he co-edited, with Walter Kendrick, ''Bloomsbury/Freud'', the letters of Freud's English translators, James and Alix Strachey. In the 1980s he also taught as a visiting professor at Columbia University. In 1987, he published ''The Myth of the Modern'', and became full professor at NYU.
In 1987, Meisel also fell ill. A diagnosis eluded him until seven years later, when it was discovered that he suffered from an intractable case of temporal lobe epilepsy, resulting in frequent partial seizures from abrupt changes in light and noise and from digital and other new technologies. His physicians included Oliver Sacks. Epilepsy and its complications forced Meisel to retreat from public activity. He took refuge in his teaching and benefited from a greater literary productivity, turning his attention more exclusively to literature, theory, and psychoanalysis. In 1984, he had begun writing for ''The New York Times Book Review''. ''The Cowboy and the Dandy'' appeared in 1999, ''The Literary Freud'' in 2007. In 2010, ''The Myth of Popular Culture'' appeared as a Blackwell Manifesto. In 2011, Meisel co-edited, with Haun Saussy, Ferdinand de Saussure's ''Course in General Linguistics,'' restoring Wade Baskin's original translation and providing the first critical edition of Saussure's lectures to appear in English. He served as a contributing editor of American Imago from 2001 to 2011. He is a member of PEN, the Modern Language Association, and the American Association of University Professors. He is also a member of the Institute for the History of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.
