description: 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 movie 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. What PC English professors don't want you to learn from: -Beowulf: If we don't admire heroes, there's something wrong with us -Chaucer: Chivalry has contributed enormously to women's happiness -Shakespeare: Some choices are inherently destructive--it's just built into the nature of things -Milton: Our intellectual freedoms are Christian, not anti-Christian, in origin -Jane Austen: Most men would be improved if they were more patriarchal than they actually are -Dickens: Reformers can do more harm than the injustices they set out to reform -T. S. Eliot: Tradition is necessary to culture -Flannery O'Connor: Even modern American liberals aren't immune to original sin The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature takes you on a fascinating tour through our great literature--in all its politically incorrect glory--to give you the great literary education you were denied in school.
