The “Pride” and the ensuing debate

A town that tries too hard to be a village, when in all actuality it should try to be a city. Too many people, not enough places to put them. Too many small towns claiming stake in the bigger city. And too far away from the nearest metropolis to be considered a part of it. Seen as snooty, eventually divided into right/wrong sides of the track. Too much like Pretty in Pink to actually be a healthy environment.
I was on the wrong side, but oddly enough, because I chose to be.

Eagleton: Arnold himself had beliefs, of course, though like everybody else, he regarded his own beliefs as reasoned positions rather than ideological dogmas. Even so, it was not the business of literature to communicate such beliefs directly-to argue openly, for example, that private property is the bulwark of liberty. Instead, literature should convey timeless truths, thus distracting the masses from their immediate commitments, nurturing in them a spirit of tolerance and generosity, and so ensuring the survival of private property. Just as Arnold attempted in Literature and Dogma and God and the Bible to dissolve away the embarrassingly doctrinal bits of Christianity into poetically suggestive sonorities, so the pill of middle-class ideology was to be sweetened by the sugar of literature.

Freire: Yet only through communication can human life hold meaning. The teacher’s thinking is authenticated only by the authenticity of the student’s thinking. The teacher cannot think for his students, nor can he impose his thoughts on them. Authentic thinking, thinking that that is concerned about reality does not take place in ivory tower isolation, but only when generated by action upon the world, the subordination if students to teachers becomes impossible.
Viswanathan: The affirmation if an ideal self and an ideal political state through a specific national literature-English literature- is in essence and affirmation of English identity.
