The Politically Incorrect Guide to English And American Literature

[Huginn ok Muninn]

Something of an exposé on cultural marxism in modern American universities today. The author defends classic works of literature containing traditional moral teachings which were replaced in the mainstream curriculum by works which would further the aims of the critical theorists to dismantle our culture and society.

The book argues that the study of literature in universities today is distorted by theories - developed in the 1960s at Yale and expanding through the 1970s and 1980s - that are aimed at attacking western civilization and Christianity for their alleged racism and sexism. This critical theory is believed by Kantor to have caused professors to replace the well-established literary canon with politically correct literature such as Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Toni Morrison and Dan Brown, or with theories such as Marxism and Freudianism.

I own this book myself! Great book, an excellent antidote to the public school/cultural Marxist/anti-Europeanist venom, and a great asset to anyone interested in English literature in general.
