@willianbusch You probably can find the clues you need in James Turner's "Philology: the Forgotten Origins of the Modern Humanities" and Chapter 1 of Peter Berry's "Beginning Theory, 2nd Ed" (which opens with a history of English studies in the UK & US), amongst other sources, but those two come to mind for me....

• Original: I love reading books.

• Translated: I don't mind spending several hours a day, every day, on passive consumption of an information in exactly the order the author used, and the fact that most of this information will be of no use for me any time soon doesn't bother me at all.

I probably meant to say that active learning is the only learning, or something along these lines…

Your entire life, you've been told you're deathly allergic to bees. You've always had people protecting you from them, be it your mother or a hired hand. Today, one slips through and lands on your shoulder. You hear a tiny voice say "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
