Sommario/riassunto

The Alexander Lectures for 1949-50. In his Preface, Professor Brown says, ";Isolating a single element or group of elements in the novel, and considering it in unreal separation from all the other elements which it actually fuses, is artificial, but so is all criticism. The artificiality is justified if when one turns back from the criticism to the novels these appear more intelligible and more delightful. That is the test."; Applying the test to Dr. Brown's present work, the method is more than justified by the results. they are titled: ";Phrase, Character, Incident,"; ";Expanding Symbols,"; ";Interweaving Themes,"; and ";Rhythm in E.M. Forster's A Passage to India.";
