[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The late great Harold Bloom warned how literary studies was taken over by cultural studies, i.e. not reading the great works at all or "reading" Shakespeare and Dickens through faddish ideological lenses (feminist, Marxist, por-modernist). Traditional literary scholars are in the minority. At what colleges these days can one get a serious education in literature these days? [/quote] Literature was read through these lenses when I got my BA / MA at a Jesuit university 25 years ago. You can read it through multiple lenses. If you don’t, I don’t know that there’s enough to talk about and write about (whether there’s value in doing so is another question.)[/quote]
