The Premises:

The Premises:

1 That literature is the history of the community, and provides the sources of discovery for the literal historians.
2 That literature is the record of speech changes and revaluation of symbols within the community's language.
3 That words are the mode of revelation and that, in being so concerned, literature will be the ideology of romance within the community.
4 The work of literature does not lead its existence apart from the moral commitments of those who would destroy the community in order to restore the value of human life.
5 It is literature that must create the forms of symbolic order, to imply the revelation within the location, the action, and the modulation of the symbols.
