“In this course I have tried to reveal the mechanism of those wonderful toys — literary masterpieces. I have tried to make of you good readers who read books not for the infantile purpose of identifying oneself with the characters, and not for the adolescent purpose of learning to live, and not for the academic purpose of indulging in generalizations. I have tried to teach you to read books for the sake of their form, their visions, their art. I have tried to teach you to feel a shiver of artistic satisfaction, to share not the emotions of the people in the book but the emotions of its author — the joys and difficulties of creation. We did not talk around books, about books; we went to the center of this or that masterpiece, to the live heart of the matter.

I think you overestimate their chances.
Also: 'morale' would be he overall happiness of the book. Which is full Simple Tom.
If you could words, you might understand better.

Start with Kierk's parables and the idea of double reflection. Don't interpret text, but be interpreted through the text.

New to /lit/, and lurking isn't helping me much. What does spooks mean here?
