First sentence: IN Novelists on the Novel (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1965), Miriam Allott asserts that "in general, the novelist's desire to emphasize the utile at the expense of the dulce has usually had damaging effects on his adjustment of 'the uncommon' and 'the ordinary,' interfering with the effect of verisimilitude which it is important for him to achieve and also impairing his purity of vision" (p. 30).
