In last four lines of the first para the author observes that Criticism of black writing has often served as a pretext for expounding black history. Gayle’s work judges the value of Black Fiction by overtly political standards. Thus it substitutes political for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction. The choices are between A, C and E. E is not completely true. In C, we know that the author does not discuss the limitations but he actually points out how the criticism of a literary work can be biased if it is not done for its literary merits or demerits. No other choice, but E would fit in the context. Rosenblatt explicitly states that it is not his intention to judge the merit of the various works – an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. Rosenblatt shows that Black Fiction constitutes a distinct body of writing that has an identifiable, coherent literary tradition. The author of the passage is least likely to approve of C. This does not allow the discussion of the merits of poems according to the political acceptability of their themes. There is absolutely no definition of the various terms. |
