The Logic Of Style: Being An Introduction To Critical Science by William Renton. The work presents a theory of Style positioned as a science that interlocks with Logic and the Fine Arts, arguing that Style is not mere ornament but a differential in Expression governed by objective principles and sensitive perception. It surveys how Style relates to Logic, Grammar, Psychology, and aesthetics, and outlines Style’s dual foundation of Sensibility (the reader's or critic's responsive feel) and analytic insight (the scientist’s method for making effects explicit). The Introduction traces the history from Aristotle to De Quincey, arguing for a catholic, integrative approach to literary criticism that uses a rigorous method rather than subjective taste alone. The text then advances through chapters on the nature of Expression, the concepts of Quality and Quantity, Subtlety and Comprehensiveness, and their roles in Rhetoric, aiming to equip readers with a systematic vocabulary and framework for analyzing literary style and its effects. It also outlines the practical implications for philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy in criticism and teaching.
