Literary reception

[edit]

Shouldn't the section Literary reception be renamed "Literary reception and Gender", given the disproportionate weight given to one academic's grating of their particular grindstone? I mean, I'm all for advancing one's career by riding all over every other societal issue, recasting any other issue as subordinate to one's own hobbyhorse, right? Uh, no.

That sort of thing is what happens when "improving" a Wikipedia article is a class assignment—one or two obscure academic papers are summarized as if they really matter. Sometimes the students don't realize that these are encyclopedia articles, not book reports or term papers. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 13:18, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
