I am foolishly attempting a 10 page paper that requires 20 sources. I want to cover the importance of using Marxist/class analysis in literature, or, barring that, the importance of choosing socialist literature in the English/Writing classroom.

I know it's a niche thing, but I'm too damned stubborn to change my paper to something similar and I'd like some help finding good resources on socialist theory regarding education.

    Oof, yeah, that's why so much of Jameson remains in my to-read pile after so many years. I like him but sometimes he's hard to want to read. Actually, wait, he does have one that's eminently readable and might be perfect for your paper - The Detections of Totality, on Raymond Chandler and applying class analysis to the detective novel. It changed the way I read crime fiction and it's easy to imagine the book making it onto a syllabus for a class on how to write it.

    Good luck with the paper!
