题目材料：

The poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar (1872-1906) was the premier Black writer of poetry that used the dialect of rural African American of the southern United States. Although Dunbar`s works were both popular with readers and acclaimed by literary critics during his lifetime, after the First World War a radical shift occurred, at least in critical opinion of his poetry, and twentieth-century critical evaluation of his work has been generally negative. Some critics attacked his work on social grounds for failing to challenge plantation stereotypes of African Americans. Other critics, such as the post James Weldon Johnson, argued from aesthetic grounds that dialect poetry in general was too limited as an artistic medium, and capable of producing only two effects: pathos and humor. The negative critical trend only began to reverse itself in the 1970s, when scholars began to emphasize the importance of mythic, psychological ,and historical dimensions of Dunbar`s works, focusing on the interior and exterior realities of African American life after the Civil War.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage concerning scholars' use of mythic, psychological, and historical considerations in evaluating Dunbar's works?

A.Such use disputes the claim that Dunbar's work failed to challenge plantation stereotypes of African Americans
B.Such use challenges the claim that dialect poetry is well suited to producing effects of pathos and humor
C.Such use supports the claim that Dunbar's poetry was aesthetically more limited when written in dialect
D.such use suggests that the initial reception accorded Dunbar's poetry may here been too positive
E.Such use suggests that earlier twentieth-century evaluation of Dunbar's poetry may have been too negative
