Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Principles of Criticism: An Introduction to the Study of Literature

For all the purposes of every-day life taste will serve. But if we go round a picture gallery With an artist we soon find that while 'taste' makes the sight of these pictures a genuine enjoyment, it will go only a little way towards helping us to discrimi nate between the relative merits of the several works./ Broadly speaking, we do not see much difference in them. But the artist, or the critic, sees both the excellencies and defects to which our eyes are blind.

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.
