Excerpt from A Modern Book of Criticism Criticism is no isolated thing; it is not an amusement of elegant triflers; it is not - as many people think - a sport of aloof academicians. It is as present as the air, as concrete as bread, and far more necessary to human civilization than steam or petrol. The proverbial Philistine who refuses to see a play that will not make him laugh practices criticism of the most formidable kind and reveals in that practice all he is. For consider the implications of his critical reaction: the utter lack of humane sympathies, the stum of all gentler influences, the hard determination to give no part of his earnings for anything that neither stirs his senses nor flatters his consciousness of superiority. Consider, fur thermore, the forces in his civilization that have made him what he is: the insistence on mechanical values, the steely ferocities of business competition, the militant subordination of all the elements of life to one coarse and impoverishing kind of success. I could go further and point out how this Philistine's lack of a subtle shame in his attitude, indeed his brazen pride in it, demonstrates the failure on the part of the intellectuals of his age and country to create a cultural atmosphere in which he would be forced, despite himself, into an uneasy awareness of the poverty of his own soul. And I could proceed to an analysis of the impotence of these intellectuals. Or else, I could select another critical reaction of our average business man: his moral indignation over a literary or dramatic treatment of sex, and I could readily derive that from his own furtive grossness or em bittered self-repression. But it is already clear that the humblest critical remark made by a random man or woman in any crowd you please has implications that can sear the soul or cry to heaven.

Excerpt from The Masters of Modern French Criticism To study sainte-beuve and the other leading French critics of the nineteenth century is therefore to get very close to the intellectual centre of the century. We may thus follow the main movement of thought through this period and at the same time build up the necessary background for the proper understanding of the ideas of our own day, Whether they continue this earlier thought or react from it.

Excerpt from Specimens of Modern English Literary Criticism: Chosen and Edited, With an Introduction and Notes This book belongs to the realm of rhetoric rather than that of literature or literary history. It aims to use critical writing, more completely than is done in any existing text-book of selections, as an agent in rhetorical study and intellectual discipline. Books of specimens of the so-called forms of discourse, narration, description, exposition, and argumentation, are abundant, as well as useful. The present volume is less a complete illustration of a form of discourse than an analysis of a fair variety of pieces that would commonly be called literary criticism, but it is hoped that it also will be useful at least to those moderately advanced students for whom it is intended. The point of view in the editing of these selections is one from which literary criticism is regarded, rhetorically, largely as a form of exposition and argumentation, and, as a matter of fact, as a body of more or less particular theses and opinions. Selections, therefore, are given without abridgment, and the important points all along brought out relate to the dicta of each critic and his reasons for holding his opinions. The safest way to begin the study of literary criticism and the surest progress toward a sound knowledge of that art is, in my opinion, to be found in the examination of actual critical production. It is certainly wholesome to treat works of criticism like any other body of facts, as well as an illustration of some theory or other of the universe. Supplying material for analysis and some direction for study is, therefore, as far as this book attempts to go. In arrangement, the essays proceed from the simplest, most matter of fact, and most easily demonstrable, to the more general, more abstract, and less easily provable. The arrangement is as follows: the first eight essays deal with particular men; numbers 9 and lo have to do with special topics; and the last five are illustrative of general discussions from highly different points of view of literary art and morality. For any of the essays here an infinite variety of substitution and supplementation may, of course, be made, according to the preference of the teacher. I have chiefly tried to get as large a variety as possible within the limits of literary criticism, to avoid repetition of type, to present well-contrasted views and methods, and to avoid essays of too difficult a character.

Excerpt from St. Luke and a Modern Writer: A Study in Criticism Since many have undertaken to draw up a narrative about the facts which have been fully established among us, as those who were actual eye-witnesses and ministers of the matter delivered them, I too have thought good, most excellent Theophilus, after having followed all the circumstances from the very beginning with the utmost care, to present you with an orderly account in writing, that you may have certain. Information about the things you have been told by word of mouth. Among the books of the New Testament two stand by themselves. Their avowed object is to set forth facts, collected by their author, in literary form. He gathered his information, as he declares, from reliable sources. He was probably, if not certainly, a witness if not a principal actor, in some of the scenes which he depicts. For the facts outside his personal experience he relied on the testimony of the best authorities he could find. His preface, though not without parallels in antiquity, is strangely modern in tone, in claiming to present his little books as the result of laborious investigation.

Excerpt from The Literary Critics: A Study of English Descriptive Criticism S ome things are most readily defined by their contraries, but the ultimate condition of a literature without criticism is one that modern England has happily never known, and we must leave a stranger to speak. These are the words of the Hungarian poet Miklos Gimes, later hanged by the Kadar Government, describing intellectual life in the Socialist countries before the rising of 1956.

Excerpt from History of Literary Criticism in the Renaissance This essay undertakes to treat the history of literary criticism in the Renaissance. The three sections into which the essay is divided are de voted, respectively, to Italian criticism from Dante to Tasso, to French criticism from Du Bellay to. Boileau, and to English criticism from Ascham to Milton; but the critical activity of the sixteenth century has been the main theme, and the earlier or later literature has received treatment only in so far as it serves to explain the causes or conse quences of the critical development of this central period. It was at this epoch that modern criticism began, and that the ancient ideals of art seemed once more to sway the minds of men; so that the history of sixteenth-century criticism must of necessity include a study of the beginnings of critical activity in modern Europe and of the grad ual introduction of the Aristotelian canons into modern literature.

Excerpt from Definitions: Essays in Contemporary Criticism The unity of this book is to be sought in the point of view of the writer rather than in a sequence of chapters developing a single theme and arriving at categorical conclusions. Literature in a civilization like ours, which is trying to be both sophisticated and democratic at the same moment of time, has so many sources and so many manifestations, is so much in volved with our social background, and is so much a question of life as well as of art, that many doors have to be opened before one begins to approach an understanding. The method of informal definition which I have followed in all these essays is an attempt to open doors through which both writer and reader may enter into a better comprehension of what novel ists, poets, and critics have done or are trying to ac complish. More than an entrance upon many a vexed controversy and hidden meaning I cannot expect to have achieved in this book; but where the door would not swing wide I have at least tried to put one foot in the crack. The sympathetic reader may find his own way further; or may be stirred by my endeavor to a deeper appreciation, interest, and insight. That.
