Abstract | Higher and lower schools routinely take their cue from luminaries like NYU dean Catherine Stimpson, who famously opined that academic objectivity and intellectual rigor equal "mishmash." As a result, they feed students a diet of bland, uninspired readings. Carol Iannone is thus not surprised at the ensuing hand-wringing when the teaching establishment finds that appreciation for poetry, fiction, and drama has fallen through the floor. Good books establish a social context for young readers, Iannone writes, and construct a unifying cultural literacy that America can ill afford to lose. (Contains 17 notes.) (As Provided). |
