@azforeman@linguistics@poetry@histodons@bookstodon@litstudies Of course, I am not suggesting that #Shakespeare be banned, or that any book be banned. However, I do think some of his plays such as Romeo and Juliet should be reserved for undergrad. Still, on the topic of Discourse Theory and the Literary Canon, his status should be downgraded. We have been getting better at building a more inclusive Literary Canon, but still have a long way to go. Authoritative Discourse matters.
