The Literary Critics: A Study of English Descriptive CriticismHogarth Press, 1986 - 242 pàgines In an original and highly stimulating approach, George Watson traces the evolution of critical doctrines, placing particular emphasis on those critics of genius who burst open the literary commonplaces of their day with forceful new ideas, compelling a change in values. He takes us from Dryden through the writings of the Augustans, Johnson, Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Hazlitt, Matthew Arnold and Henry James, to T.S. Eliot and the controversial and intriguing contemporary scene, with its factions and debates, in an updated edition of this indispensable examination of the form. |
