Concerning politics in literary texts, here’s what I think: I hate “political” writing—novels, plays, poems. They don’t travel well, don’t age well, and generally aren’t much good in their own time and place, however sincere they may be.
I honestly agree with these points. Although this section about political writings makes me think about U.S. history and how some of the political writings at the time really did influence the success of a goal. For example, in the Gilded Age, muckrakers exposed the horrible working conditions and child labor occurring during the time period, shedding light on the era’s issues.
