non-marxist literary critic?

[edit]

what on earth is a "non-marxist literary critic"? may as well call him a non-alien literary critic, or a non-surrealist literary critic, or... etc etc. if most of the other literary critics in the world were marxists then it might possibly make sense to differentiate him from them this way, but as it is, it just sounds... odd HieronymousCrowley (talk) 18:01, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Anti-marxist" might be a better term then "non-marxist" for the reasons that HieronymousCrowley points out as well as many others. This article with sentences like "In a world of categories, labels, genres, Professor Cantor has proven himself to be remarkably resistant, publishing on Oscar Wilde one day, on Salman Rushdie another, on Samuel Beckett another, and then winning the Ludwig von Mises Prize for Scholarship in Austrian School Economics on yet another." Sounds a bit more like shameless self promotion and less like a neutral point of view article that belongs on wikipedia. Serious rewording and clean up seem to be necessary.86.24.53.39 (talk) 00:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
