Publisher Description: William Shakespeare. Charles Dickens. Mark Twain. These are a few of the people who, were they still alive, would be seriously irritated to see their names in this book. But after nearly a decade as a high school English teacher, Blake M. Petit knows that sometimes even the greatest writers who ever lived turned out truly absurd works of literature. In this book, Petit points out some of the plot holes, gaps in logic, and just plain ludicrous choices made by the names that have kept scholars debating for centuries. Whether you're an educator or someone who's trying to be educated, this wild look at literature will change your thinking about the most amazing writers of all time, and also the Transcendentalists. |
