Well, whether or not we agree to, we disagree then. 
Still, I'm genuinely curious, what did you want that
wasn't there?  What would make TCOL49 "complete" for
you?  No problems on this end ...

And I suppose that "dichotomy" I was posing was one
more of critical reception than one concerning
anything necessarily intrinsic to the text at hand, to
any given text.  Just that (stereo)typical divide
betwixt the New Critcism and whatever it is that comes
after (The New Improved Criticism, with Fluoride?) ...
