gathered materials for a good lecture, another essay. When Mr. Righter
argues against naturalistic criteria by adducing "the various sorts
of
things that we accept as being works of art," I wonder what he means;
my own experience of art admits a parody of itself that formal modes
of analysis do nothing to identify. Some time ago, Eliot wrote that there
was "an urgent need for experiment in criticism
pf
a new kind, which
will consist largely in a logical and dialectical study of the terms
used."
My needs are for another sort of criticism: one that would seek the
conditions under which the literary experience can survive.
