GS is cosmopolitan but people are generally more interested in contemporary literature and don’t always look at things from a literary critic’s perspective. You can however try to change that. I’m sure there are some knowledgeable people around.
I do know the ABC of literature but my current pursuits have been rather different in nature. So I can try but may not be in a position to give better ideas. I suggest you save your time and energy by telling your students what our friend Dushwari said.. Satan is characterless. End of story.
