Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-22 00:00:00 Tyler Tolson Not only is this book unstructured and opaque, it completely rejects the idea of objectivity. Alexander more than once blatantly shows favouritism with expressions as explicitly as calling works bad or praising authors as the best of their kind. The remark that contemporary poetry cannot reach greatness, speaks of a bitter old man and is the last in a string of unprofessional instances. The works chosen are reviewed, instead of presented and the book is filled with strange commentaries, such as on whether or not homosexuality is natural - Not only completely off topic but also not based on scientific evidence - and a strange obsession over authors' Christianity. If this book were presented as a collection of reviews, one could maybe turn a blind eye to the inconsistent subdivisions and in-paragraph topic chances. Maybe. But it is presented as a historic, scientific and academic overview and is, therefore, a shame to its kind.
