"Literature of Knowledge and Literature of Power" by Thomas De Quincey (1848)

 THE DOC IS BACK!

Bonus: 

There is no knowledge that is not power

Summary: Literature of knowledge is self explanatory. Literature of power is moral.

Commentary: I feel like literature generally implies some kind of narrative, if not fiction directly. I guess people sometimes say "the literature" in the context of a literature review or something, but if you take a literature class or are a literary journal, it's mostly fiction.

I think I expected something a little more dramatic from the title (literature of power is propaganda?) De Quincey has a couple other things I'd like to read, so maybe De Quincey week. 2.5/5 on the Classics Scale (I might stop doing these). .5 because it's a nice quick read, but also too short to cover a ton.
