I guess, concepts and forms of literature gradually evolve and change through time. what we considered good and excellent before may be considered questionable now and even criticized. We all know that one has his/her own viewpoint on something like for example, a literary work. So a piece of literature may seem to be good to others but then oppositely may be taboo or bad to some. and we can't do anything about that. Let's just say that, if you yourself find something interesting to read and thinks it is worthwhile reading, then go ahead read. there's nothing wrong about that but please do take into consideration what others think about that work your reading at but eventually, it's up to you to belive what is what you think is right.

Is literature a form of snobbery or a concept invented to make a few chosen men sound important? Oo. Is literature naturally elitist and meant to be appreciated only by a few?

Is literature naturally elitist and meant to be appreciated only by a few? Is it what makes it special? Is that what makes it good?" Fascinating blog. We had a few souls tell us that our making Shakespeare more accessible (by modernising the language for one of our versions), was, in fact, dumbing down. We were hoping that we'd be encouraging a new generation to read! So your quote resounds deep within...... “What is so objectionable about the use of simple language in literature?

I mean, why would Jun Cruz Reyes's work be part of the Filipino literary canon if they are? Why would the works of Eros Atalia, Mes De Guzman, Allan Derain be both critically-acclaimed and popular among casual readers? Why would the works of Villa and even Hernandez inspire a lot of criticism (and not all of them good)? There are academics who aren’t snobs.
