[lbo-talk] Texas school board drops Jefferson, adds Calvin

[C. G. Estabrook]

Insofar as that's so, it stems from the now-deceased pomo's being much more a 
mood and an attitude in various lit & social science faculties, than a defense 
of certain texts and ideas therein contained.

And Eagleton, in After Theory and elsewhere, paid attention to the pomo 
panjandrums; worse yet, he discusses at length in other work the actual 
literature to which Theory was supposed to apply. (See chapter 4 of James 
Smith's recent Terry Eagleton: A Critical Introduction, from Polity Press.)

Incidentally, I just learnt that the original panjandrum was never used in 
battle.  --CGE
