Excerpt from The Principles of Criticism: An Introduction to the Study of Literature
The purpose of this book is to present an account of the main principles of literary criticism, and to illustrate these principles by passages from great writers.
The book will, therefore, be found to contain (in addition to the text) a collection of noteworthy critical utterances.
The translations from the Greek, Germany and French have been done by the Author.
References are made (with two exceptions) to the text of Aristotle by the pages of Immanuel Bekker's large (Berlin) edition; and to that of Plato, by the pages of the edition of Henry Stephens. Addison is cited by numbers of the Spectator, and Lessing by chapters of the Laocoon. In the case of other authors, the footnotes will sufficiently indicate the sources of reference.
Both an index of authors and an index of subjects have been provided.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. 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 criticismâ"the appeal to the imaginationâ"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.
