Tillie Olsen‘s fiction and essays have been widely and rightly acknowledged, particularly by contemporary feminists, as major contributions to American literature. Yet few of Olsen‘s readers realize the extent 5 to which her vision and choice of subject are rooted in an earlier literary heritage—the tradition of radical political thought, mostly socialist and anarchist, of the 1910‘s and 1920‘s, and the Old Left tradition of the 1930‘s. I do not mean that one can adequately explain 10 the eloquence of her work in terms of its political origins, or that left-wing politics were the single most important influence on it. My point is that its central consciousness—its profound understanding of class and gender as shaping influences on people‘s lives—owes 15 much to that earlier literary heritage. (126 words)
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply 7. According to the author, which of the following is NOT true of the heritage mentioned in the passage? □A It emphasizes gender as the determinate influence on people‘s lives. □B It includes political traditions that span three decades of the twentieth century. □C It has been the most important influence on Olsen‘s work.
8. Select the sentence in which the author denies possible interpretations of an earlier assertion. |
