Abstract:

Anyone familiar at all with the North American academic scene over the last few years will no doubt have heard of the so-called ‘culture wars’ currently being waged across North American university campuses. The ‘wars’ here is a somewhat hyperbolic description of the debate – sometimes civil, most often rancorous – over the legitimacy of the Western literary canon. At the heart of the rancour is the paramountcy of politically oriented criticism.
