This is what underpins the attempt to query, test, and challenge what were til recently seen as fixtures on the canon. This doesn't mean forgetting, or ignoring style, rather reading closely (and often admiringly) in the context of history that is inevitably not only literary.

... and one strand of EngLit is entirely to do with asking what has changed wrt taste significance, etc, and why - and thus undermines the idea of "universal truths" (Larkin's poems are v much of their time for instance, and conservative in form at that)...

... even if you think that's the *primary* reason to read poems, it doesn't happen in a vacuum, and what was considered "viscerally moving" by critics in 1950 isn't necessarily still that in 2022 - eg the praise here is of the personal lyric...

By trying to claim EngLit as primarily about appreciation of technique (this is a core part of the discipline, but not all of it) the author is underplaying the *effect* lit works can have, which isn't limited to being "viscerally moving" on a personal emotional level..

I don't think anyone believes this "other variant" thing - but in any case, why aren't sociology or politics being discussed in the same way? There are thinkers imp to all 3 eg Bourdieu, Anderson, Said... twitter.com/Samfr/st…

OK clearing continues, so here's a set of books to give away: it's the 12-vol Delphin edition of Pliny's Natural History (London, 1826). The set is pretty battered - but was in The House of Commons Library for over a century, so just think who read it! Just RT this to enter draw. pic.twitter.com/9CxY…
