Footnotes
1]Gerald Graff's Poetic Statement and Critical Dogma (Evanston: Northwestern
University Press, 1970), contains many examples of this point of view, typical
among them being those of Northrop Frye and T.S.Eliot: "...the artist uses
ideas, but qua artist is not otherwise concerned with their truth." Frye,
p.38. "...neither Shakespeare nor Dante did any real thinking-that was not
their job." Eliot, p. 40
