Literary notes about Interject (AI summary)
In literature, "interject" is commonly employed to signal a deliberate interruption that emphasizes or clarifies a point within a broader argument or narrative. For example, in Henry Fielding's "Joseph Andrews, Vol. 1," the narrator uses the term strategically to insert a request directly to the court, underlining the precision and intended meaning behind his words [1]. This method of interjection serves not only as a narrative tool but also as a reflection of the rhetorical practices of the time, wherein such asides were essential in guiding a reader’s interpretation of the main discourse [2].
- I have only to interject, as the critic so often has to interject, a request to the court to take what I say in the sense in which I say it.
