Reviews of this website
frenchtwist discovered 2 months ago- Suspension of Disbelief "Suspension of disbelief" is the fundamental attitude on which the very possibility of the poetic or fictional act is based. Without the basic willingness on the side of the reader to accept a-priory the rules of the game and the limitations set by the author, no act of poetic interchange can ever start to take place. The reader must be willing to follow any kind of logic adopted by the author, to give up demands for strict and coherent realism, and to follow the author to wherever he takes the plot and the characters. "In this idea originated the plan of the "Lyrical Ballads"; in which it was agreed, that my endeavours should be directed to persons and characters supernatural, or at least romantic, yet so as to transfer from our inward nature a human interest and a semblance of truth sufficient to procure for these shadows of imagination that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith." ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~ ~ from the page If you've read Borge's short story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, you will be pleased to read a short analysis on this website. If you haven't had the pleasure yet, scroll down; you will find the story just a few entries back on my pages. ***
