| 520 | _a"Ephemera Critica; Or, Plain Truths About Current Literature" by John Churton Collins is a critical examination of contemporary literature and its place within the educational frameworks of universities, written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the disarray and perceived decline of literary standards compared to the organized and impressive state of sciences at the time. Collins advocates for necessary reforms in literary education and addresses the issues related to the lack of proper representation and standards in literature, affecting both scholarship and public perception. The opening portion of the text establishes Collins' urgent call to reform the way literature is taught and critiqued within universities. He articulates a stark contrast between literature and sciences, claiming that the former is mired in chaos, while the latter thrives under strict standards and qualifications. Collins critiques universities for their indifference to the degradation of literary study, highlighting their failure to implement structures that would uphold literary excellence akin to those in scientific realms. His essays serve as both protest and experiment, aiming to shed light on the deficiencies of current literary criticisms and the dire need for a robust literary education grounded in both historical and classical contexts.
