[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great article. Reading classics in third-world countries is considered performative, and it's fascinating that the same sentiment is now growing in the US. I wonder what it will mean for the US' future.[/quote] Nothing. It will mean nothing for "the US' future." [/quote] Probably just the nail in the coffin in a 50 year decline in exalting the study of English as a discipline as well as university English departments across the country. There’s an article in the NY Times today lamenting how few novels are read by middle and high schools with screens viewed as the likely culprit. Kids may not even have the capacity to tackle difficult literature these days. [/quote]
