Excerpt from Lord Morley's Criticism of English Poetry and Prose: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Had Brunetiere adhered strictly to the phraseology of the introduction, the main part of the Evolution des Genres would be without the charm which it possesses; but he has fortunately omitted the technicalities of the theory. His discussion of the development of French criticism is masterly and discreet. The limitations of method, however, suggest two Objections and I may be permitted to raise them without adopting the mocking tone which, according to Brunetiere, is common with critics who reject any attempt to classify and label works of art.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound impact of evolutionary theory on literary criticism in the late 19th century. It examines how prominent critics, influenced by scientific advancements, sought to establish a new, "scientific" type of criticism that emphasized historical analysis and objective observation. By delving into the writings of renowned critics like J. A. Symonds and Brunetià re, the book reveals how they attempted to trace the development of literary genres and establish a hierarchy of perfection based on evolutionary principles. Additionally, it sheds light on the tension between scientific criticism and more traditional approaches that valued personal opinion and intuition. Through a nuanced analysis of critical methodology and its application to Romantic poets like Byron, Wordsworth, and Shelley, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of the transformative role that evolutionary theory played in shaping literary criticism.
