that's of general interest in literary studies.
-
The second thing, in the second lecture,
-
that I will focus on is what to do with detail,
-
what to do with that odd detail that you notice in the novel.
-
It could be anything.
-
Is there a way of making an argument that will radiate out
-
from that detail into some more holistic understanding of a novel?
-
My second lecture will be a demonstration of that
-
and an argument for that as a literary technique,
-
and I hope that this will be useful to you
-
in writing the next paper,
-
which will be coming up fairly shortly.
