Academic study of literature in a true sense is not possible.

your choice of taking literature as an academic subject in general kills the creative delight.Any writer does not write for making his writing as academic text.There are mainly 2 causes for writing literature. 1.to give pure delight 2.to give knowledge through delight So delight is a must.But academic study in general kills this delight.So I am saying that academic study does not go with the spirit of literature. There would not be any problem if the authorities of literature departments plainly admitted that they have nothing to do with the spirit of literature.All they are doing is just the application of literature.But as they are not making it clear and holding the name "Department of literature", it is giving a wrong message.Yes it is  right that in a broader sense literature covers everything.So if you really want to know literature you need freedom which academic study can't give you.So I am saying that" Academic study of literature in a true sense is not possible."
