The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature
exposes the PC professors and takes you on a fascinating tour through our
great literature-in all its politically incorrect glory. Included: a syllabus
and how-to guide to give yourself the English lit education you were denied
in school.
- 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*
