Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 20   AIL 1924 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Why the Constraint Is Disclosed

Captions available

The idea

A course that quietly omitted a band would leave a student unaware of a gap. Saying what cannot be reproduced, and why, lets the student seek those writers elsewhere. Unit nineteen took the same approach with Wilde and Shaw.

In practice

State the gap; do not hide it.

Where people slip

The student can then go looking.
