i think it’s important to look at historical texts to understand representations that both informed and reflected the culture of the times, etc...

but that’s sociology, or cultural history, or something

the problem with literary studies than focus on “theory” (caca) over great texts is that you end up reading a lot of shitty material for purely sociological/historical purposes.

which is not the reason why you started studying literature in the first place...

..and it fast becomes pukeworthy. and obvious. and repetitive.

yep. we’ve been conned by academia.
