Unpopular

Thomas M. Cranfill and Robert L. Clark, Jr., "James's Revisions of The Turn of the Screw," Nineteenth-Century Fiction 19.4 (March, 1965) 394-398 (at 394):
Nowadays the study of textual niceties is not popular in many circles. The usual practice seems to be to leave such drudgery as collation to the pedant who may be good for little else and thus free one's self to engage the energies, critical faculties, and imagination in pursuing images, allegories, paradoxes, symbols, ironies, ambiguities, theological implications—what not.
