Re: The obsession over classic literature is kind of ridiculous, honestly

[personal profile] nyxelestia 2013-02-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's basically Nostalgia Filter + leftovers of the Renaissance obsession with Old Things. Unfortunately, most of modern society has some element of conditioning to think of "old = good". (Just look at any sort of herbal medicine advertisement, how many of them use ancient roots as some kind of selling point? For that matter, how many foodie and health-nut things are sold with the word or concept of "ancient" in the advertisement?)

To be honest, I tend to assume that anyone who thinks "classic literature = well read, modern literature = idiot" is an idiot, themselves. It's one thing to love classics and/or appreciate their impact on arts and society, it's another thing to assume they make or break how intelligent you are.
