And the organization by subject leads to the inclusion of material which over-represents Brownlow's personal proclivities regardless of objective importance. For example, "The Curse of Melodrama" degenerates into Brownlow's none-too-enlightened theories about hateful genre succeeding at the expense of blessed naturalism...
