The Ethics of Teaching Literature

Abstract

any teachers these days mistrust words like ethical and literature, because they suggest a naive return to old-fashioned questions and methods that they consider by now utterly refuted. The mistrust is understandable when we consider some of the extremer defenses of values, with their narrow definitions of literature: the many polarizing D'Souza-ist and Himmelfarbian sermons attacking all postmodernist movements in the name of traditional values and this or that canon.
