Abstract
English departments around our country are in a lot of trouble. Members of these departments who have spent years preparing carefully detailed survey courses in English or American literature, researching the major or minor figures of a particular period, or ceaselessly reexamining the great books of the Western world are discovering that we as instructors are obsolescent, even obsolete. We are being voted out under the elective system, in fact tuned out by a generation of students brought up with the bedroom TV, the drive-in movie, the car radio, who knew intimately the comings and goings of Archie Bunker or Joan Baez, but don't know Chaucer or Milton and couldn't care less.
