The Case for Irrelevance.
Morse, J. Mitchell
College English, v30 n3 p201-211 Dec 1968
Good writing is discussed in terms of absolute literary values--"what is good writing" rather than "what is considered good writing." Major emphasis is focused on judging the quality of a literary work by its artistic merit instead of its political, social, or philosophical relevance. Examples of good and bad writing styles are cited throughout the article. (CW)
