[FRA:] Marcuse--introductions & surveys

[Ralph Dumain]

I'm not up on introductory surveys of Marcuse. In my personal library, I 
have the following books on Marcuse:

Paul Breines, ed., Critical Interruptions: New Left Perspectives on Herbert 
Marcuse, 1970.
Harold Bleich, The Philosophy of Herbert Marcuse, 1977.
Morton Schoolman, The Imaginary Witness: The Critical Theory of Herbert 
Marcuse, 1980.
Barry Katz, Herbert Marcuse and the Art of Liberation, 1982.
Charles Reitz, Art, Alienation, and the Humanities: A Critical Engagement 
with Herbert Marcuse, 2000.

I don't know what to recommend as the key introductions/surveys of the 
thought of Marcuse.  One of my sources claims that the first three of these 
books are inferior, and recommends this one:

Kellner, Douglas: Herbert Marcuse and the Crisis of Marxism (London and 
Berkeley: Macmillan and University of California Press, 1984).

Any comments on this book, esp. as a survey of Marcuse's thought and its 
evolution?  Any other recommendations?

I looked over the secondary literature on the official Marcuse site, and 
saw a few other books of possible general interest.  I made note of this one:

Robert Pippin, Andrew Feenberg, and Charles P. Webel et al, Marcuse: 
Critical Theory and the Promise of Utopia, (Bergin & Garvey, 1987).

Any comments on this one?
