KARL MILLER speaks about some recent novels and about certain changes in taste that seem to have occurred in the writing and reception of the novel in England. Mr. Miller thinks that, while the use of some of the characteristic materials of poetry has come to be distrusted in the novel, it has also become clear that several of the best novels of the time have relied on borrowings of this kind. Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago is a recent example.
