If someone would seriously turn out their pockets and give me their loose change for my contributions to the field of gossip and innuendo I will gladly accept.

Shesgreen also details Abrams's innovations in comparison to existing anthologies like the College Survey. Abrams, he says, respected students as "aspiring scholars, creating sophisticated historical introductions, biographical narratives, and innovative special topics." But elsewhere in the essay he argues that Abrams's influence has had negative elements, for example his resistance to expanding the early limited number of female writers in the NAEL's pages (Norton Anthology). In the article, Shesgreen quotes Abrams as saying during the 2004 visit, "I have not found 10 lines worth reading in any of the women added. People want these but don't use them. And we have to put them in to be PC."
Haha! That's good stuff! Sophisticated historical introductions, biographical narratives, and innovative special topics!! That's my Sh-eeyt!
And, come on, "10 lines worth reading" from any of Norton's writers is a lot to ask.
Just one man's opinion.
