[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, literary studies in the university tends to not respect or revere a novel based on its aesthetical and intellectual merits, but on the origin of its source. I would be disillusioned to say indefinitely that politics play no part in literature. But I think what’s been happening across universities is extremely concerning. [b]Great authors, legendary authors, who are worth our time, should be read.[/b][/quote] That bolded statement betrays an ignorance. How does a work come to be accepted as "great?" Society tells us. What we have historically promoted and considered "great," coincides with societal views (ie white guys rule). Not saying these works aren't great, but it's important to broaden the spectrum with diverse perspectives. [/quote]
