Considering the treatment meted out to the great classics of American literature by Hawthorne, Melville, Mark Twain, and Henry James, Shaw shows convincingly how they have been systematically raided by academic critics in the service of political correctness, and virtually robbed of their deepest meaning. "This book demonstrates that it is possible to read literature and be highly conscious of the political, without descending into the merely ideological". - Dinesh DSouza.
