"The Critic in the Modern World" explores the work of six
influential literary critics--Samuel Johnson, William Hazlitt,
Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling and James Wood--each of
whom occupies a distinct historical moment. It considers how these
representative critics have constructed their public personae, the
kinds of arguments they have used, and their core principles and
philosophies. Spanning three hundred years of cultural history,
""The Critic in the Modern World ""considers the various ways in
which literary critics have positioned themselves in relation to
the modern tradition of descriptive criticism. In providing a lucid
account of each critic's central principles and philosophies, it
considers the role of the literary critic as a public figure,
interpreting him as someone who is compelled to address the wider
issues of individualism and the social implications of the
democratising, secularising, liberalising forces of modernity.
