Through his essay, Style, his respect for the mot juste, and his belief that good literature will be organically unified, made him a somewhat oblique source for New Criticism-the tradition of close reading. Style; Wordsworth; Coleridge; Charles Lamb; Sir Thomas Browne; Love's Labours Lost; Measure for Measure; Shakespeare's English Kings; Dante Gabriel Rossetti; Feuillet's La Morte; and Postscript.
