NP Misc. 'discover this' aspect in Shakespeare?

[alice wellintown]

In the Folger Shakespeare you will find Mowat's essay on the implied
stage action in the plays. The essay is so excellent that it has been
adapted to fit several plays. The hand gestures are in the words.
Pynchon, not as skillful as Shakespeare,  knows how to do this, but he
slides into a lazy narrative style as his voice crawls down into his
bad ear.

On another thread, I decided to re-read parts of Parker's Melville to
compare or rather contrast how Pynchon's navy life and Melville's navy
life influenced their early efforts. From here, I decided to re-read
Tanner on White Jacket. In his essay Tanner contrasts Melville work
with Dana's Two Years. Dana, a lawyer, writes like one. But Melville,
a romantic and a poet, boils the blubber down to the sublime. Pynchon
too is a poet of the sublime, a romantic. Why he bothers writing books
for his purse is a mystery. A film? Good God! What an old fool he must
be now.
