Description
Presented as an antidote to the "indoctrination" that is imposed on literature classes by "PC English professors." Chapter two, entitled "Medieval Literature: 'Here Is God's Plenty'" (pp. 23-47) focuses on CT, Langland's "Piers Plowman," the vigor of medieval Christianity, the value of authority, and the benefits of chivalry. Compares Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" unfavorably with CT.

Alternative Title
