Nah, Scottie, it was actually good old formalists of the generation prior to
the one that spread the current French disease around (actually, YOUR

What Anna's anecdote illustrates is the pathetic aping
by the American educational establishment of chi-chi
French literary theory - & the slavish adherence to

(&, sadly, Ozzies) for whom conformity of thought
is, evidently, the highest good.
