Joan, I think you are erecting disputes where no disagreement exists (an old Jedi mind trick used by academics and journalists). I cannot imagine a day passing where I do not listen to music or read literature. BUT, individual tastes are not universal, and that is the only distinction I was trying to draw. I am reminded of Mel Brook's wonderful spoof of Alfred Hitchcock films -- High Anxiety. In the film, Brooks has a psychiatrist bumped off by being trapped in a car playing rock 'n roll. I suppose that the equivalent for a modern teen might be being forced to listen to opera. We each create our own hell. It occurs to me that you never answered my questions. So let me give you two that lie at the heart of the issue. If there is an objective way of discriminating between the quality of art, exactly what is it? Can you show me how it might apply in a comparison between Mansfield Park and Bleak House? If you agree with me that there is no objective methodology (i.e., one that does not rely on the personal expertise or opinion of the investigator) then I think it is fair to say that we are in agreement.
