When is the End not the End? Literary Reflections on the Ending of Mark's Narrative

Interpretation 34 (2):151-166 (1980)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

“…we are left with a choice between saying that Mark was simply incompetent, or that the ending, though strange, is right if rightly (finely) interpreted. We have to explain why a book that begins so triumphantly and makes promises of a certain kind ends in silence and dismay, without fulfilling the promises.”1 (Frank Kermode.)
