520			_a"Misinforming a Nation" by Willard Huntington Wright is an analytical critique written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the pervasive influence of British cultural dominance in American intellectual life, particularly in the realms of art, literature, and education. Wright argues that the misinterpretation and derision of American achievements by British critics have led to a cultural inferiority complex among Americans, thereby stifling their individual expression and appreciation of native accomplishments. The opening of the text sets the stage for Wright's exploration by detailing the long-standing intellectual colonization of America by England. He discusses how British authorities have used their cultural superiority to belittle American creativity and impose a biased worldview through educational institutions and reference works like the "Encyclopaedia Britannica". By highlighting specific instances of underrepresentation and mischaracterization of American and other non-British cultural figures, Wright contends that the colonization of the American mind by British standards poses a significant barrier to national intellectual advancement. This foundational argument serves as a critical launching point for a deeper investigation throughout the book into various artistic spheres, including literature, drama, poetry, and philosophy.
