Well done article, you always have a way of bringing things up that cause me to reach back in the way back machine.
When I was a music performing arts major for my under and post graduate, there was a lot of bringing the outside modern eyes perspective to the classic arts. We were taught indirectly to undermine the fidelity of the piece with our personal experience, rather than be in submission to the compositions context.
I see this now in Bible preaching and some feminist interpretations of Lewis when it comes to his character developments especially Susan in the Narnia series. They forget that Lucy is also part of the story

Thank you, Von! And yes - this type of criticism has influenced all of the arts. It's so sad!
