Interlude V
Abstract
This final interlude on the conventions of literature takes a step back to consider literature in relation to the concept of convention generally, with a look at wedding conventions as a stepping stone to those of literary works. The key notions, overall, are that conventions give form to reality and structure experience; conventions change; and conventions are learned—both in the context of weddings and of literary works and genres.
