Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 18   AIL 1702 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Two Centuries, Two Tastes

Captions available

The idea

This band contains a sharp change of taste. Its first half prizes order, balance and polish; its second prizes feeling, plainness and the individual voice. The two halves want different reading habits, which no other period band on this paper requires.

In practice

Polish first, then plainness.

Where people slip

One band, two reading habits.
