Answer
Mumford criticized literature as part of the machine culture that he blamed for the decline of the arts and the rise of mass culture. He argued that literature had become too focused on technique and style, and had lost its ability to connect with the human experience. He also criticized the modern publishing industry for its emphasis on profit, which he believed led to the production of low-quality literature.
