註釋"The principle of structural necessity might be understood by comparing it with the Latin phrase idem in alio, 'the same in another.' The artist creates in another medium the same reality which he or someone else directly experienced, or imagined as directly experienced. Thus, though Homer was not present at the battle of Troy, he recreated it as immediate experience in The Iliad. So, too, with William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses: Faulkner's novel depicts an experience of conversion with its attendant reordering of creation. I suggest that the work accords with the principle of structural necessity and therefore that not only the constitution of events but every recurring theme and in fact every word demands the kind of scrutiny required by the greatest books of the greatest minds."--from the Introduction.
