About the old in a new textbook

During the national discussion of literature education, one of the main issues, which was debated quite temperamentally, was the quality of literature textbooks. Despite some extreme and incorrect statements, to which enthusiasm and partly prejudice led some critics, the general assessment was unanimous and correct. The discussion confirmed that literature textbooks, although some authors have achieved partial success, lag behind the development of literary science, are not full-fledged assistants to students and teachers. Literature textbooks do not reveal clearly and fully the ideological depth and aesthetic value of the artistic work. The historical-literary process is not illuminated in its breadth and complexity. Errors of the most different nature are allowed - scientific, methodological. The language is dry, inexpressive, inaccurate, overloaded with formulaic phrases.
