Conditions for Criticism studies changes in the practice of
literary criticism in the nineteenth century and locates those
changes within wider movements in British intellectual culture. The
growth of knowledge and its subsequent institutionalization in
universities produced new forms of intellectual authority. This
book examines these processes in a wide variety of disciplines,
including economics, historiography, sociology, psychology, and
philosophical aesthetics, and explores their impact upon literary
criticism. Its thesis is that the work of late nineteenth-century
writers such as Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde can be best understood
in terms of their engagement with, and reaction to, these general
intellectual changes, a view which in its turn reveals the
seriousness of their work.
