Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The International Monthly, Vol. 1: A Magazine of Contemporary Thought; January-June, 1900 A Question which instructors in rhetoric of about a generation ago, were especially fond of submitting to their pupils for discussion, was this: "Is literary criticism an art or a science?" Many of our distinguished contemporaries once wrote school exercises on this theme, the importance of which they doubtless, at the time, little suspected. And in reality, this question, which, at first sight, may seem hardly worth the asking, represents a whole development, a whole transformation in a species of literature which has always been cultivated in France with peculiar zeal. Is literary criticism an art or a science? This is equivalent indeed to asking in slightly different terms: "Is literary criticism personal or impersonal, objective or subjective?" Or further: "Has it, or can it have, a more general significance than that imparted by the mind of the writer who uses it as his instrument? Can it lead us to the discovery of universal truths, or ought it to be limited merely to instructing us as to the relative value of literary productions? Along with its obvious aesthetic interest, can it have as well an historical, or philosophical, or scientific interest?" A rapid glance at the history of literary criticism in France shows us at once that this "science" or "art" has been transformed in a sense easy to determine.
