How far superior is all this to the cut-and-dried logic-chopping, the cold analysis to the eighteenth century! 'The Novel, say sententiously, 'is the Epic grown amusing. Instance Corinne, bring Mme. de Stael up to support your argument.
I don't mean that I'm not doing what I set out to do: I've got my own particular abomination by the neck, and I'm about to choke the life out of it. But that is, as you might say, a side issue.
