A sentence???

[wangming]

Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel’s heterogeneous parts.


Can some one help me explaine the first clause that happened to be very difficult to decipher? Therefore, if you can understand what it meant, can you change it in a normal order? Thank you!

Here. These elements ? means which elements is not specified.
Their Presence ? is also not specified.

This makes incomplete to understand the whole thing.

roughtly.

The elements ( something which are not referred) do not argue with the authorial awarness of Henry James.
Their presence ( not specified here to what it refers ) encourages to unify the noves hetrogenous parts.


It is very clear that this sentence has the pronouns that lacks clarity.

Many critics of Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint (a complementing or contrasting item: OPPOSITE) that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a “romantic” reading receives more confirmation. Seeing the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel’s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel’s heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novel’s diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet.
