Well, no, it's more, "Jezus, who can take Tolstoy on art seriously?"
One thing which (mildly) fascinates me about poetryetc2/3/4 (where are we
now?) is the layerings -- generational [Scott the uppity grad student, me
the burnt-out ex-lecturer], creative vs. critical [though I'd have seen
Scott as creative rather than critical here], "Under which [when]
CritTheory banner, Bezonian?" Derrida/Lacan/Deleuze/Foucalt vs. uz old
farts who were brought up under the regime of the "New" (pre-Blair)
Criticism. langpo, linepo, typopo ... Etc...
Cheers
Robin Hamilton
