A Greater Tradition: Seven Studies of Triadically Extended Symmetrical Narratives from Beowulf to Ulysses

Writers who adopt the structural method revealed in my study produceworks so astonishing “because of our symmetrical additions” that they makealmost every other critical effort appear to be the work of someone asleep.The symmetrical additions produce brilliant actions that simply make usgape in astonishment, and those actions refine their characters to make usalmost gasp. The effect is an entirely new poem, play, and novel, undreamtof in our philosophies.

With this I wish you good reading. See what exposesthe human soul in Beowulf, what opens closed hearts in The Merchant, whatexposes Horatio as the falsest of false friends, what shows Ishmael’s voyage asone of unbelievable love, what shows James’s virtual tunneling his way deepinto American atrocities against American blacks, and what shows us theatrocities of Irish Priests and Fathers against Irish sons and daughters. Findsomething astonishing upon every page.
