They teach them language features and terminology in Eng Lit in schools now. Quite often the kids don’t even read or understand the poem/extract, they just identify techniques. So sad, no enjoyment or, as you say, critical thinking. Thank you Mr Gove. (Bastard)

Another thing about literature is that there is a perceived ‘Canon’ and you’re not allowed to disagree with it.
I disagree with a lot of it.
