Opis

This volume provides a thorough account of the critical tradition emerging with the modernist and avant-garde writers of the early twentieth century (Eliot, Pound, Stein, Yeats), continuing with the New Critics (Richards, Empson, Burke, Winters), and feeding into the influential work of Leavis, Trilling and others. The book provides a companion to the other twentieth-century volumes of The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, and offers a systematic and stimulating coverage of the development of the key literary-critical movements, genres, and individual critics.

Recenzje

'Its twenty chapters, written by a distinguished team of contributors, cover most of the peaks and a few of the valleys of Anglo-American criticism between, approximately, 1910 and 1960 … This volume provides some wonderful instances of what being 'intelligent' about literature can be like.' The Times Literary Supplement
