Priorities?

The thing we want, if we look a work of literature up in an encyclopedia, is to find out something about what place it occupies in the history of its author's writings and of literature in general. Is it one of the author's best or worst works, important or unimportant? What have literary critics said about it? I look for the Valley of Fear on wikipedia and find not a hint that anyone thought these questions worth answering. Instead, I find only an absurdly long synopsis of the plot--which is what small children imagine a book review to consist of. Sorry, but anyone who wants to know that much about the plot of a story should just read the story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.243.220.61 (talk) 21:43, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
