This is a blog to celebrate and discuss English literature in all its manifold glory. In this month (December 2006) Oxford University Press is publishing The English Reader: What Every Literate Person Needs to Know, an anthology of English poetry and prose, edited by the mother and son team of Diane Ravitch and Michael Ravitch. On this blog you will find all kinds of stuff, starting with a discussion of The English Reader and why we feel it is important for the American public to have a deeper knowledge of English literature. Furthermore, we will write sometimes about some of our favorite authors. Hopefully readers will join in the discussions and offer their own passionate opinions about the authors we showcase and the choices we made.
