Reseña del editor

Review, in noticing the first book published of this series, entitled Poetry as a Representative A rt, took the author to task, apparently, for not following exclusively that which he by no means ignored, the prevailing and popular method of Historic Criticism. Had the critic read the book more carefully, he would have had no difficulty in detecting in the course criticized the result of a deliberate purpose. That historic criticism, in the last few decades, has been of vast benefit to truth and to thought of every kind, no one can deny. But it has its limits; and there is no region in which, if applied exclusively, it is fitted to do more harm than in that of aesthetics. Holding that all the products of the arts and all the changes in their general conditions and effects are subject to the laws of development, two of its most prominent propositions are: first, that art is the expression of the spirit of the age in which it appears ;and, second, that all art, for this reason, is of interest to the artist. Neither proposition is true. If there be anything which, very often, the higher arts are distinctly not, it is the expression of the spirit of their age. Greek architecture of the fourth century before Christ, and Gothic of the thirteenth after him, may have been this; although even they were developments of what had been originated long before.
