The Art of Eloquence Byron, Dickens, Tennyson, Joyce

Аннотация

The drama begins to resemble a scene from the floor of the House of Commons, with some members chiming in ‘Hear, hear’, others murmuring their disapproval from the back benches. Wopsle is translated from player to orator, and Pip finds himself ‘feeling keenly for him, but laughing, nevertheless, from ear to ear’ (p. 255); even Pip’s recollection is inflected with the audience’s cries, for ‘ear to ear’ echoes ‘Hear, hear’.
