This blog is open to anyone interested in literary culture. We live in a results-centred, utilitarian world, and unfortunately our educational systems are increasingly occupied with job-training and ‘skills’. Although exam results and jobs are essential, I believe strongly that teaching must be informed by the transmission of a love for the beauty and wisdom in our artistic creations. Without this, education withers and dies. 'You have been to school/ But kept your wisdom' (Kathleen Raine)
For those absent from class yesterday, here is the extract from Melville's Moby-Dick. For Friday 6th November you need to come to class with questions 1, 2, 3 and 4 prepared in note form for oral presentation. Have a good break!
