I took several English and literature courses. NONE included a study of literature. Other than grammer(sp?), the “theme” taught, was socialism and opposition to limited government.
I learned something about literature:
- when I stumbled onto a book by the wife of a famous author
- when I was befriended by the sister of another famous author.
I believe you. It’s a shame what’s being pushed in colleges today.
It’s nice that you ended up learning more about literature from friends.
