Min nærmeste bok er “Studying the Novel” av Jeremy Hawthorn, som et naturlig ledd i at det snart er eksamen, og at dette er pensum.

“Few readers of the work would find this satisfactory as an explanation. The motor-car in Howards End clearly stands for, or represents something; it is not merely a means of transport but a symbol in the novel. By this we mean that it carries with it various ideas, associations, forms of significance that in ordinary life it might not have in people’s minds: ‘innovation and the destruction of tradition’; ‘the mechanical as against the organic’; ‘unfeeling social change’; ‘violence and death’; the selfish pursuit of personal comfort by the rich’ – and so on.”
