John Rowe Townsend Quotes

It Is Natural If You Feel As Strongly As Most Decent People Do About Racial Discrimination To Welcome Books That Give It Short Shrift; But To Assess Books On Their Racial Attitude Rather Than Their Literary Value, And Still More To Look On Books As Ammunition In The Battle, Is To Take A Further And Still More Dangerous Step From Literature-as-morality To Literature-as-propaganda - A Move Toward Conditions In Which, Hitherto, Literary Art Has Signally Failed To Thrive.

("Didacticism In Modern Dress" From Only Connect (2nd Ed., 1980).
