This book is an historical survey of some important theories of
literary criticism, which is designed to introduce more advanced
students of English and other European literature to the nature and
origin of these theories and ultimately to help them clarify their
own attitudes to literature. Professor Ruthven's approach is to
bring together and analyse examples of the way in which major
writers and critics have dealt with the critical issues raised by
different kinds of writing. He emphasizes throughout the variety of
critical stances taken at different times in response to the
challenge posed by highly original works and he draws on a large
number of instances from all the major periods of English
literature. The examination of the historical material presented
here should encourage students of English, as well as other modern
European literatures, to recognise and re-appraise their own
critical assumptions.
