Christopher J. Lane (born 1966) is a British-American literary critic and intellectual historian who is currently Professor of English at Northwestern University and, formerly, the university's Pearce Miller Research Professor of Literature. Previously, he taught at Emory University, where he was also director of the Psychoanalytic Studies Program in the Psychiatry Department. A Victorianist by training, Lane has secondary expertise in 19th-century psychology, psychiatry, and intellectual history. Lane graduated with a B.A. in English and Philosophy from the University of East Anglia (1988), and subsequently earned an M.A. in Critical Theory from the University of Sussex (1991) and his Ph.D. from the University of London in 1992. == Publications == Lane is the author of five books and editor of two more: * ''The Ruling Passion'' (Duke University Press, 1995) * ''The Burdens of Intimacy'' (University of Chicago Press, 1999) * ''Hatred and Civility: The Antisocial Life in Victorian England'' (Columbia University Press, 2004) * ''Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness'' (Yale University Press, 2007) * ''The Age of Doubt: Tracing the Roots of Our Religious Uncertainty'' (Yale University Press, 2011) * ''The Psychoanalysis of Race'' (Columbia University Press, 1998, editor) * ''Homosexuality and Psychoanalysis'' (University of Chicago Press, 2001, co-editor). His book ''Shyness: How Normal Behavior Became a Sickness'' critiques the broadness of the concept of social phobia as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Drawing heavily on unpublished papers at the American Psychiatric Association that document the creation and revision of the manual's third and fourth editions, ''Shyness'' also criticized the definitions of other mental disorders, including in a ''Los Angeles Times'' article that covered the controversies surrounding the drafting of the DSM-V. In ''Slate'', he discussed some of the disputes over the direction of the DSM and the secrecy surrounding the revision of its fifth edition. Lane has published more than fifty peer-reviewed articles in journals such as ''Raritan, Novel, Victorian Studies, Theory and Psychology, English Literary History, Modernism/Modernity, PMLA, Common Knowledge'', the ''Oxford Literary Review'', the ''International Journal of Psychoanalysis,'' and the ''International Literary Quarterly.'' His work has also appeared in the ''New York Times'', ''Washington Post'', ''Boston Globe'', ''Los Angeles Times'',〔 ''New York Sun'', and ''Chronicle Review''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher J.
