I couldn't find a PDF of where the diagram was published, so I'm still unsure of Hough's full conception. However, this screencap is from the aforementioned book. I will read Frye's today.

Upon further consideration, I realize that I should have included hieratic in my interests. Orthodox icons, like mantras and mandalas, exist for utilitarian ends- a spiritual utilitarianism. Novels, however, due to their length and breadth, are too unwieldy for such a purpose. Fairytales, whose form and objects are chiefly functional, on the other hand, I believe must be classed as hieratic, thus more just than novels. I think the efflorescence of the novel in an increasingly bourgeois and Protestant Europe should demonstrate the novel's affinities. My points here may help illuminate my preferences for you. Imagism is merely realism without commentary and is equally impotent. I enjoy Shakespeare, Pope, and Wilde for their quotability.
