/lit/ - Literature

No literary analysis is 'useful', don't be ridiculous. I chose this degree knowing that its utility was purely emblematic - I'd get a bit of paper that would arbitrarily improve my career prospects. I'm not labouring under any illusions, I don't think the feminist theorists should either.

It's rather that I very much do want to read literature written by certain writers. They interest me and they're canonical, it shouldn't be an excessive demand. I think that these modern schools of criticism should be open to those who're thus inclined. However, other - more 'traditional' - approaches should also be available.

I clearly didn't say that, friend. However, I'll never have another opportunity to do nothing but indulge my passion for literature. A literature undergraduate obviously isn't the only person who loves literature, but he's probably in a better position than anyone else to explore that passion.
