Which of Forster's statements in Ch. VI-VII are general claims and which are his readings of named novels, what does he hedge or exclude, and how do his claims relate (by candidate ID only) to the existing worldbuilding and Forster rows?
1927 criticism, with a worker's map. Forster presents fantasy and prophecy as one 'fantastic-prophetical axis' for books that the usual apparatus of story, people and plot does not fit (E1, E2), and says that for these lectures the tools were laid down (E4). General claims are few: the extra demand on the reader (E16), fantasy leaving the governing forces of the universe untouched (E14), prophecy as tone of voice (E17), and the contrast of fundamental versus incidental confusion (E15). Most of the chapters' length is reading of named novels, and the practical handling remarks sit inside those readings (see -02, -04). He hedges repeatedly: the approach is 'not critically sound' but his heart refuses to assent (E5), books can only be known by reading them (E8), classification is risky (E7), and he keeps a reservation about prophecy (E9). Compared by ID: his reader-demand view differs from Tolkien's world-side consistency criterion (C3-B175-S37-01); his bounded-departure remark (E14) i...

- [sourced_fact] 1927 criticism, with a worker's map. Forster presents fantasy and prophecy as one 'fantastic-prophetical axis' for books that the usual apparatus of story, people and plot does not fit (E1, E2), and says that for these lectures the tools were laid down (E4). General claims are few: the extra demand on the reader (E16), fantasy leaving the governing forces of the universe untouched (E14), prophecy as tone of voice (E17), and the contrast of fundamental versus incidental confusion (E15). Most of the chapters' length is reading of named novels, and the practical handling remarks sit inside those readings (see -02, -04). He hedges repeatedly: the approach is 'not critically sound' but his heart refuses to assent (E5), books can only be known by reading them (E8), classification is risky (E7), and he keeps a reservation about prophecy (E9). Compared by ID: his reader-demand view differs from Tolkien's world-side consistency criterion (C3-B175-S37-01); his bounded-departure remark (E14) is a loose analogue of C3-B014-S4-02 but is a description of fantastic novels, not a reader inference rule; his deliberate-muddle remark (E15) is a case where a continuity checker (C3-B106-S23-01) would flag intended confusion. · locator: candidate evidence excerpts source
