Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elizabethan Criticism of Poetry: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts, and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The chief value of this study of Elizabethan critical writings on poetry perhaps lies in the attempt to do approximately what Saintsbury says "would lead to inextricable confusion and criss-cross reference," namely, "to trace the development of the same ideas in different writers." The purpose has been to assemble the material under the topics that mainly occupied the interest of the critical writers of the period, and to view the standards and ideals thus exhibited with reference to their application to the contemporary problems of poetry. Consideration of the whole body of material dealt with has impressed the conviction that Elizabethan criticism of poetry - perhaps more independently English, or at least written (often by the poets themselves) more with reference to actual contemporary problems and conditions than may have heretofore been recognized - bears significant and in general consistent relationship to the poetic product of the time, and that a sympathetic knowledge of this criticism is highly important for an adequate understanding and appreciation of Elizabethan poetry. The critical writings dealt with have been limited chiefly to those that come within the reign of Elizabeth, most of which are included in G. Gregory Smith´s edition of Elizabethan Critical Essays, a valuable source of material, the obligations to which are hereby acknowledged. In the discussions of certain topics, however, reference has been made to the comments of earlier and later critics. The comments from Bacon, Shakespeare, and Ben Jonson have been given for the most part in the footnotes. Jonson´s criticism has not been included in the text of the discussion for the reasons that it represents a somewhat later development, and that it has already received careful attention in other studies. Although the material often tempted discussion of such questions as sources and the classical and romantic elements, considerations of unity and of space made it seem advisable to adhere to the plan outlined, even at the cost of apparent neglect of important topics. Moreover, these topics have been ably treated by other students of Elizabethan criticism. Faithful endeavor has been made to give full and unbiased evidence on the points discussed, and to this end the critics have as much as seemed expedient been allowed to speak for themselves. A brief bibliography, giving the expanded titles of the principal references cited in the footnotes, will be found at the end of this volume.
