pp. (15), 415, remainder mark on lower edges of pages, “Written over the past 15 years, this gathering of retired Boston University professor Shattuck’s essays and reviews begins with a vociferous section on the education wars, leveling shots at cultural relativism and the politicization of education. In 1994, at the founding session of the Association of Literary Scholars and Critics, of which Shattuck was later president, the author read “Nineteen Theses on Literature,” which distilled his beliefs in a traditional academic approach based on a faith in authors and their works. The theses are reproduced here, along with critiques of other books on education, as well as musings on reading, teaching, language and thought. “
