Great American LiteratureWhat a week! Most of my time has been spent exploring the world of American Literature -- a place populated largely by people with mixed-up minds and questionable morals. True, there are a few bright spots, like Louisa May Alcott and some of the Puritan writers (believe it or not). But on the whole, I've been disappointed that most of the Great American Literature really isn't.After reading about affairs, suicides, people going insane, and murders, I have an urge to read something Nice. Jane Austen, anyone? My mind needs reminding that good literature does exist, even if it's not required reading to pass a CLEP test. :) It's a pity that we Americans didn't produce any Dickenses or C.S. Lewises. I'm suddenly feeling sadly unpatriotic. :( And as a dabbler in writing, I feel the urge to write something that could be called "literature"....but I am missing a few important elements: time, a subject, and just plain ol' inspiration. So, is anyone in the blogosphere sensing the call to be the next great author? Are you concoting a fabulous story in your spare time? Don't give it up! We need you! :) But seriously, we, as Christians, shouldn't shrink away from literature as being Bad and unreformable. We just need some truly good writers who will write great literature with equally great moral backbone. And, when you finish your masterpiece, let me read it, please. I'd love to read some great American Literature that is. Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 7 of 57 } { Next Page } |
