This six volume boxed set comprises of individual volumes on:
Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, Matthew Arnold (Volumes 1 and 2),
William Morris and Walter Pater. The Critical Heritage gathers
together a large body of critical sources on major figures in
literature. Each volume presents contemporary responses to a
writer's work, enabling students and researchers to read for
themselves, for example, comments on early performances of
Shakespeare's plays, or reactions to the first publication of Jane
Austen's novels. The carefully selected sources range from landmark
essays in the history of criticism to journalism and contemporary
opinion, and little published documentary material such as letters
and diaries. Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are
also included, in order to demonstrate the fluctuations in an
author's reputation. Each volume contains an introduction to the
writer's published works, a selected bibliography, and an index of
works, authors and subjects. The Critical Heritage set will be
available as a set of 68 volumes and the series will also be
available in mini sets selected by period (in slipcase boxes) and
as individual volumes. Publication: October 1995.
