About this listen

 These days, English professors prefer to teach anything and everything but classic English literature. They indoctrinate their students in Marxism and radical feminism, show them Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, and teach them the "post-colonial literature" of South Asia. When they do teach a genuine work of English or American literature, they use it to propagandize against our "oppressive" Western culture.

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.

"A wise and sobering book that is required...for anyone who cares about the future of the humanities. (The New Criterion)

I wish young people were exposed to great literature. This is the cultural inheritance of all English speakers. Then again, the way it is treated at universities might actually turn the young away - what British or American undergraduate could be drawn to the Canon of racist, colonialist, patriarchal, Eurocentric 'texts', etc, etc? I was they could read this alongside the critical theory nonsense. Hell, I wish I had read this as a student! But, in my forties, I took a lot of it. I highly recommend.

Brilliant. Even better than expected.
