Publisher's Synopsis
These days, English professors prefer to teach anything and everything but classic English literature. They indoctrinate their students in Marxism and radical feminism, show them Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11, and teach them the post-colonial literature of South Asia. When they do teach a genuine work of English or American literature, they use it to propagandize against our oppressive Western culture.
What PC English professors don't want you to learn from:
-Beowulf: If we don't admire heroes, there's something wrong with us
-Chaucer: Chivalry has contributed enormously to women's happiness
-Shakespeare: Some choices are inherently destructive-it's just built into the nature of things
-Milton: Our intellectual freedoms are Christian, not anti-Christian, in origin
-Jane Austen: Most men would be improved if they were more patriarchal than they actually are
-Dickens: Reformers can do more harm than the injustices they set out to reform
-T. S. Eliot: Tradition is necessary to culture
-Flannery O'Connor: Even modern American liberals aren't immune to original sin
The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature takes you on a fascinating tour through our great literature-in all its politically incorrect glory-to give you the great literary education you were denied in school.
