摘要：The present article sketches a model of
literary analysis based on the concept of
propositional knowledge, with the intent to tackle
some issues relevant to both Philosophy of
Literature and Literary Criticism: What is the
relation between literature and knowledge? Can
literature produce or publicize knowledge? If so,
how? Are its epistemic features instrumental to the
analysis of literary texts, or in defining Literature?
In order to approach these questions, the poem
“Epitaph on a Tyrant” by W. H. Auden was
randomly selected and analyzed
