Abstract
THIS lecture must have been a stimulating and provocative discourse, for surely many hearers must have itched to refute and debate its many inconsistencies. For example, while apparently condemning ‘escape’ stories, Miss Bowen praises the effect of music and poetry in taking us away from our petty troubles, trivial fears and everyday worries—surely an appeal for ‘escape’.
