Art & Individuality

Refusing to indulge the reader, the novel assaults her/him

Narrative voice, ironic vision; fear, dream, desire

How double structure splits identity to complete it

The artist as a free woman, the air as a vital force

A woman’s desire: at once prison-house and place of freedom

Catherine’s quest to enact quenchless Desire and Will at once

Romance of Voss & Laura, suffering, pride, place, music-form

The creative use of constraint. Jane Austen, E.M. Forster…

Every exploring, rigorous novelist is an exile of sorts.
