3。 See Golding's series of four articles on his visit to the United States。 〃Touch of Insomnia；〃 Spectator； 207 （October 27； 1961）； 569…70； 〃Glass Door；〃 Spectator； 207 （November 24； 1961）； 732…33； 〃Body and Soul；〃 Spectator； 208 （January 19； 1962）； 65…66； 〃Gradus ad Parnassum；〃 Spectator； 208 （September 7； 1962）； 327…519。…Eds。
new to find someone who believes in original sin。〃 The prickly belief in original sin is not Golding's only unfashionable stand。 Under questioning by undergraduates； he cheerfully admitted he has read 〃absolutely no Freud〃4 （he prefers Greek plays in the original） and said there are no girls on the island because he does not believe that 〃sex has anything to do with humanity at this level。〃
At 51； bearded； scholarly William Golding claims to have been writing for 44 years…through childhood in Cornwall； Oxford； wartime duty as a naval officer； and 19 years as a schoolmaster。 Golding claims to be an optimist…emotionally if not intellectually…and has a humor that belies the gloomy themes of his allegories。 One critical appraisal of Lord of the Flies that impressed him came from an English schoolboy who went to an island near Puerto Rico last year to make a movie based oh the book。 Wrote the little boy from the idyllic island； surrounded by his happy peers and pampered by his producer： 〃I think Lord of the Flies stinks。 I can't imagine what I'm doing on this filthy island； and it's all your fault。〃 In Golding's view； a perfectly cast savage。
4。 An excellent 〃Freudian〃 analysis of Lord of the Flies appears in Claire Rosenfield's 〃Men of a Smaller Growth： A Psychological Analysis of William Golding's Lord of the Flies；〃 Literature and Psychology； XI （Autumn； 1961）； 93…101。 Reprinted； in a revised version； on pp。 261…276 in this volume。…Eds。
1 Golding's recorded interest in Anglo…Saxon makes it unlikely that he should be unaware of this etymology。 See E。 L。 Epstein； 〃Notes on Lord of the Flies〃 below； p。 277。
2 Frank Kermode and William Golding； 〃The Meaning of It All；〃 Books and Bookmen； 5 （October 1959） p。 10。 See below in this volume p。 199。 Note Golding's statement that the novel was worked out 〃very carefully in every possible way。〃
3 Carl Niemeyer； 〃The Coral Island Revisited；〃 College English； 22 （January 1961）； p。 242。 See below in this volume； p。 219。
4 The reader； of course； will wish to weigh any artist's view in the light of the continuing critical dialogue surrounding the 〃intentional fallacy。〃 Frank Kermode calls Golding's views in question in 〃The Novels of William Golding；〃 International Literary Annual； p。 19。 See p。 206 below。
