So there's that tweet floating around about bad academic writing in literature. I have thoughts. First: the text in question, I can almost guarantee, has never been assigned to an undergraduate. No one gets to lit-101 and opens up their book to that. 1/8
Which can be a very valid lens, especially in situations where the narrative has further influence - e.g. Herodotus' Greek/non-Greek binary in his composition of a history of the Persian Wars (inter alia) encouraging a greater sense of Pan-Hellenic identity.

Or, in full academic jargon, we'd say, 'Herodotus' narrative uses the Persian Wars as a stage on which to construct Greek identity in contrast to the non-Greek Other.'

OMG, is there a copy of my senior essay from 1987 on the internet?
