It is not always easy to maintain a proper balance between the
delineation of cultural development within a given literary field
and the claims of practical criticism. And yet if the history of
ideas is to be more than a pastime for the student of literature,
it must be rooted in the precise art of discrimination. The
following chapters attempt to describe and evaluate a particular
cultural development by relating the background of ideas to the
literary achievement of three writers. It will be sufficient here
to out line the nature of the problem, and the method and approach
employed. The concept of cultural development implies a recognition
of the con nections between ideology and aesthetics. There are at
least two ways of exploring such connections. The one, pioneered by
Basil Willey, seeks to situate the critical moments of our cultural
development in the back ground of ideas, without which the
contribution of a particular author cannot be justly evaluated. The
danger of such an approach is that the task of discrimination comes
to depend over-heavily on extra-literary criteria."
