Summary/Abstract: By analysing G. Josipovici’s novel, The Goldberg Variations, this paper investigates the validity of a new critical perspective, namely that of applying pictorial language to the analysis of literary texts. The investigation draws on a number of critics, E.M. Forster among them, who have acknowledged the need to borrow terms from other arts to be able to “describe” certain aspects of a literary text when literary criticism is found lacking.
