Yep. But as an English literature major, if I were looking for an exposition on a certain idea, I wouldn't push to find that exposition in strictly English literature. I'd go and find the idea I was interested in and then look into the sources.

Some people opt to do the former though. Insist that the idea they're looking to investigate must be investigated only through the avenues inherent in their style. It's that limit that concerns me.

But that's entirely up to the individual. I'm just talking about my decisions now.
