Jeffrey Peter Hart (February 23, 1930 – February 16, 2019) was an American cultural critic, essayist, columnist, and Professor Emeritus of English at Dartmouth College.
After a short period teaching at Columbia, Hart became Professor of English literature at Dartmouth for three decades (1963–1993). Hart specialized in 18th century literature but also had a fondness for modernist literature. He was popular with the students, from whom he required a great deal of writing. His political apostasy annoyed his faculty colleagues: when they were concerned about fossil fuels he made it a point to commute to campus in a Cadillaclimousine; he might have a mechanical hand drum the table when faculty meetings were too long.[4][5][6]
In 1962 he joined William F. Buckley's conservative journal National Review as a book reviewer, requiring a trip from Hanover, New Hampshire to New York City every other week.[5] Later, he would contribute as a writer and senior editor for the better part of the ensuing three decades even as he fulfilled his teaching responsibilities as a professor at Dartmouth. In one review for the magazine he wrote, "The liberal rote anathema on 'racism' is in effect a poisonous assault upon Western self-preference."[7]
The Dartmouth Review was founded in his living room in 1980, and he has served as an adviser to it since then.[3] He wrote a regular column for King Features Syndicate[5] and retired from teaching.
He died on February 16, 2019, a week before his 89th birthday.[10][11]
