Description of Lecture

During the sixties and seventies, as a result of the Civil Rights and feminist movements, American literary scholars began to rediscover writers previously lost, forgotten or suppressed. Although this movement has made important contributions to our understanding of American experience, recent campus disputes have raised the question of whether such a movement can go too far. This talk will attempt to determine whether “political correctness’ furthers or subverts the aims of literary criticism. Carol Andrews, Dept of Languages, Literature and Dramatic Arts.
