Résumé
The three passages I have selected from Mervyn Peake’s “Titus books” can be interpreted in the light of one of his major concerns: finding a way back to the origins of the vision, before it is worked out as text or picture. Each text can be seen as the product of a daydreaming consciousness, fascinated by its own imagination. Titus’s and Muzzelhatch’s “reveries” are variations on the theme introduced by the narrator in the first passage and they point to a doomed visionary quest in a disenchanted world.
