Originally published in 1947, this volume reviews the critical
achievement at the Renaissance. It discusses the ideas of
literature then current in England, as revealed in contemporary
theorizing and judgments. The period has sometimes been dismissed
as lacking great critics, and the critical works themselves have
been described as elementary and remote, but, as this work shows,
viewed in the light of what came before and after, those texts will
be found to be of considerable interest and possess intrinsic and
historical value. This book charts the course of the movement and
the main findings and their significance in critical history. There
is an emphasis to show the part payed by the medieval tradition,
with its inheritance of post-classical and patristic doctrine; the
lead given by 15th Century Italian and other Humanists and the no
less important attempts of independent native writers to work out
new artistic and dramatic theory of their own.
