20 This form of critique draws,as is obvious at first glance,on
     traditional,bourigeois sources.The motifs that recur in this
     thesis can be identified as far back as the eighteenth century
     in the vain warning that early cultural criticism sounded
     against the dangers of reading novels.

The author makes the comparison to the novel in line 21-24 inorder to
expose narrow-minded resistance to new forms of expression.

为何为narrow-minded resistance?

Thanks.

to moral dangers.Anyone who is exposed to the medium

becomes habituated to libertinism,irresponsibility,crime,

and violence.The private consequences are blunted,callous,

and obstinate individuals;the public consequences

are the loss of social virtues and general moral decline.This

form of critique draws,as is obvious at first glance,on

traditional,bourigeois sources.The motifs that recur in this (21)

thesis can be identified as far back as the eighteenth century

in the vain warning that early cultural criticism sounded

against the dangers of reading novels.

vain warning 表是一种自负,自大的警告,因此是narrow-minded的
