| Your style for the drive-by snarkiness somehow makes me feel as if you are a close friend of Mr. DeWitt's mother. Without the wit Mr. DeWitt had in his comments, only the vitriol. As others have said, less snarkily than I, while you may not like Bentley, many of us have found both his writing and ideas of serious importance to our own educations. I remember first reading his work in a grad seminar on 20th century dramatic form and theory taught by John Styan in the early 80s at Northwestern--if Bentley was good enough for as estimable a scholar (and generous a teacher, by the way) as Dr. Styan was, he's fine with me. |
