I attempt to place Eliot's theory of the classic and of culture into historical context in order to show that Coetzee's recent concern with these issues uncritically repeats elements of a conservative aesthetic ideology. This ideology proposes a view of history that has political implications, and highlighting it allows us to glimpse the presuppositions that must be negotiated if literary history is to approach its subject without pre‐empting it
