The Principles of Criticism (Classic Reprint): An Introduction to the Study of Literature - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an in-depth examination of the principles of literary criticism, illustrated with notable critical commentary. It traces the history of criticism, beginning with Plato and Aristotle. The book analyzes how Plato considered literature a medium for conveying knowledge and how Aristotle viewed it as a branch of art. It also examines how Addison introduced a new principle into criticism—the appeal to the imagination—through his analysis of the works of Milton and other notable authors of the time. Exploring the development of artistic and philosophical criticism through the work of Lessing and Cousin, it further examines the contribution of Matthew Arnold, who emphasized the interpretive power of literature. This book demonstrates how the insights presented expanded how we understand and analyze literary works and laid the groundwork for modern literary criticism.
