Distressed Literature: The Antiquing of the Classics (Essay).
Matalene, H. W.
College English, v50 n6 p623-34 Oct 1988
Distressing the classics can be avoided by avoiding three biases in the most commonly taught research program for literary historiography: (1) the bias of bibliography; (2) the bias of antiquarianism; and (3) the bias against social and behavioral sciences. Successful interpretation of text is possible when recognized as being context-dependent, historical interpretation. (RAE)
