THE CRITIC AND THE COMMON READER

on Third Programme

Three talks by GRAHAM HOUGH
3: A Literary Education for Today
Mr. Hough's main criticism of the teaching of English literature today is that the older writers who are offered to the young for study are no longer seen in relation to a central core of belief; they are hanging in the void, a prey of abstract stylistic analysis or the parochial fancies of the individual interpreter.
