Book excerpt: A History Of English Criticism, Which Was Originally The English Chapter Of Saintsbury S Monumental Three Volume A History Of Criticism And Literary Taste In Europe (1900-04), Was Published Separately In 1911 As A Revised, Adapted And Updated Edition, Complete In Itself. The Book Is The First Of Its Kind And Is Thus Of Great Historical Importance.The History Of English Criticism, As Saintsbury Sees It, Passes Through Three Distinct Stages: (I) The Initial Stage Of Elizabethan Criticism Tentative, Hesitating And Scattered Trying To Assimilate The Numerous Critical Ideas Scattered Throughout The Classical European Literatures (Ii) The Neo-Classic Period Starting With Dryden And Continuing Beyond The Beginning Of The Nineteenth Century And Then (Iii) The Stage Of Modified Or Modernist Criticism. It Is, However, A Continuous Process With Rise And Fall Of Various Schools, Theories, Movements And Attitudes Etc.The First Chapter Examines The Classical Legacy Which Provides The Relevant Critical Framework Against Which The Development Of English Criticism Must Be Seen. In The Subsequent Chapters Professor Saintsbury Discusses At Length The Contributions Of Elizabethan Critics, Dryden And His Contemporaries, The Eighteenth Century Critics, The English Precursors Of Romanticism, The Romantic Critics And The Critics During The Period From 1860 To 1900. The Conclusion Neatly Sums Up The General Plan Of The Book And The Findings Of Professor Saintsbury, The First Academic Historian Of Universal Criticism.Though Profoundly Luminous And Sharply Insightful The Book Makes A Delightful Reading Mainly Because Of The Vigour Of The Overbearing Character Of Saintsbury Who Always Transmits His Opinions With Gusto And Invites His Readers To Share His Views, His Happiness And Hearty Preferences, His Strong Likes And Dislikes.The Book Is A Must For Any Student Of Literary Criticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A THE Book of the Week. Did you know that Aristotle thought the best tragedies were those which ended happily? Or that the first mention of the motor car in literature may have been in 1791 in James Boswell's Life of Johnson? Or that it was not unknown in the nineteenth century for book reviews to be 30,000 words long?These are just a few of the fascinating facts to be found in this absorbing history of literary criticism. From the Ancient Greek period to the present day, we learn about critics' lives, the times in which they lived and how the same problems of interpretation and valuation persist through the ages. In this lively and engaging book, Gary Day questions whether the 'theory wars' of recent years have lost sight of the actual literature, and makes surprising connections between criticism and a range of subjects, including the rise of money.General readers will appreciate this informative, intriguing and often provocative

This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

This volume provides a comprehensive and authoritative study of the vast field of literary criticism between 1830 and 1914. In over thirty essays written from a broad range of perspectives, international scholars examine the growth of literary criticism as an institution, and the major critical developments in diverse national traditions and in different genres, as well as the major movements of Realism, Naturalism, Symbolism and Decadence. The History offers a detailed focus on some of the era's great critical figures, such as Sainte-Beuve, Hippolyte Taine and Matthew Arnold, and includes essays devoted to the connections of literary criticism with other disciplines in science, the arts and Biblical studies. The publication of this volume marks the completion of the monumental Cambridge History of Literary Criticism from antiquity to the present day.

Download or read book English Literary Criticism And Theory written by M. S. Nagarajan and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a history of Western literary criticism and a general introduction to the subject of literary criticism and theory. It follows the survey approach, discussing English literary critics in a historical-chronological order. It is primarily designed to serve as a text/reference book for undergraduate and postgraduate students in Indian universities and colleges. The book deals with the critical texts that are prescribed for study in many M.A (English) courses in India. One section of the book surveys the contribution made by the ancient critics since knowledge of classical criticism is essential for an understanding of later developments. Another section (sixteenth to twentieth century) takes for close examination, individually, such of those critics as are prescribed in the curricula of M.A. courses in Indian universities and colleges. The last section on Contemporary Criticism, examines all the movements, with special emphasis on theorists who have initiated these movements. The section, A Glossary of Critical Terms, gives short explanatory notes on critical terms with which a student is expected to be familiar. The Select Bibliography lists important works on criticism which can be consulted for further reading and research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural writing. Literary criticism. Middle-Eastern Studies. A HISTORY OF LITERARY CRITICISM IN IRAN contains comprehensive research on the works of the leading figures in the field of literary criticism in modernist Iranian thought in the nineteenth century: Mirza Fath `Ali Akhundzade, Mirza Malkom Khan, Mirza `Abd al-Rahim Talebof and Zeyn al-`Abedin Maraghe`i. Inclusion of Ahmad Kasravi and Sadeq Hedayat was considered appropriate later due to some common aspects of critical attitude to the predecessors. These criticisms were the first seeds of modern literary criticism sown in the field of social and political life in Iran. Parsinejad is well-known to researchers in the field of Iranian studies. The publication of this book is useful in familiarizing readers with one of the most crucial aspects of progressive and critical thought in the Iranian modern era.
