 Literature
Virginia is producing at last a literature both indigenous to its soil and imbuied with a realism that may be said to capture the major portion of the truth about its people and its civilization.
The Reconstruction literature of Virginia, however, which endured well into the twentieth century, was characterized by a nostalgia for the past and a romantic idealism that evaded facts.
Literature sustained a loss in 18o8 when John Daly Burk, a gallant young Irishman, was killed in a duel ten years after his coming to Virginia.

Excerpt taken from part 2, on the study of ancient literature and the need to make the study of languagues a part of our earliest study, so as to gain access to the "intellectual treasures of a nation." Sedgwick also stresses that the function of the university is to "teach profoundly" not superficially.
Also interesting is Williams' use of the figure of a palimpsest-like map of English literature, one that contains layers of a "selective tradition" carved out by generations of scholars.
