[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a serious “literature” education only values English langauge writers who have been dead for at least 150 years. Nothing else is of value. That’s not studying literature[/quote] This response is a huge part of the problem. We live in the USA. Our culture, politics, customs, etc. are products of the Western World. There are undoubtedly fantastic works of literature in China and India (for example) that have been hugely influential in Asia. But regardless of your feelings, they’re not relevant here. Furthermore, stating that authors like Shakespeare and Dickens “have value” does not mean they are the ONLY authors who have value. What are you even talking about?[/quote] I’m talking about your first paragraph. People should only study “Western” literature? Does Tolstoy count? Having such a narrow minded view of literature that ends in 1900 is silly. [/quote] Yes, Tolstoy counts. Happy?[/quote]
