Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 10 AIL 0937 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Four Passages, Four Positions
Captions available
The idea
Austen stands outside and above, Brontë inside and afterwards, Conrad inside and alongside, Joyce outside but pressed against one mind. Four different positions, four different bodies of available evidence, and the exam's prose questions turn on which one is in force.
In practice
Four positions, four evidence sets.
Where people slip
The position fixes the evidence.
