Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of English Criticism: Being the English Chapters of a History of Criticism and Literary Taste in Europe; Revised, Adapted, and Supplemented My publishers having requested me to prepare a separate edition of the English part of my History of Criticism, which appeared in three volumes between 1900 and 1904, I saw no objection to complying. One of my subordinate (and not so very subordinate) objects in writing the larger book was to vindicate our literature from the charge of being second-hand and second-rate in this matter: and while some reviewers had received the old prejudice too obediently, and with too little knowledge of the subject, to discard it, others were good enough to admit that I had made out no bad case. There can be no doubt that, in the present drift of public opinion, an ever-dwindling minority of students obtains the full liberal education of Classics first, with English and Modern Languages to follow in the natural order; but that is no reason why the majority should be deprived of the meat they are prepared to digest. At the same time, a reader who has no knowledge of ancient criticism cannot understand the history of English; and one who does not know something of the state of Italian criticism at the beginning of ours - of that of French, German, and French again later - will find himself constantly at a loss.
