Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-22 00:00:00 Lester Zimmerman, Jr It had better be good as I had spent quite a sum. And, it was good. I don`t know if it was that good, to worth its money, but at least, reasonably good to not regret them (yet). A quote, because I am being lazy: "Some of the standard assumptions about what literature is or does (aside from entertain) include the following. Literature has been seen primarily as imitation (the classical and neoclassical tradition). In a broad sense, this assumption extends to all the following approaches to literature. They all assume that literature refers to reality, whatever else it does. The role of literature has also been identified as expression (anthropological and psychological approaches, romantic lyricism); as manipulation of the audience through its affective power and rhetoric (Tolstoy, Sir Philip Sidney); as communication (Max Eastman, many didactic writers); as creation (Robert Scholes, Austin Warren); as expression of the author's mind which only becomes meaningful by an act of mind by the audience (Poulet); as a dialogue between author and his predecessors (Bloom); and as an exercise of the teleological faculty by both author and audience (Albert Levi)." It was better than the most. Or, at least a good start for something (presumably, a degree on fantasy). Instagram\\my Blog\\
