Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Handbook of Literary Criticism: An Analysis of Literary Forms in Prose and Verse The purpose of the writer is to supply teachers and students of literature with a suitable manual of literary criticism. As Sidney Lanier pointedly remarked, there is no book extant in any language which gives an analytical and comprehensive survey of all the well-marked, widely varying, literary forms which have differentiated themselves in the course of time - the letter, the essay, the oration, history, fiction, biography, the lyric, the drama, the epic. I have attempted to furnish such a survey as the vast range of subjects and the limitations of a handbook allow. The student thus enjoys the advantage of viewing critically the whole field of letters - an advantage which no other manual offers. As a preliminary study, this handbook treats literature from the viewpoint of a fine art. In common with all the fine art-literature has its own province, its own form and content. And the art-form and art-content of literature should be ascertained before the student makes any detailed study of the various departments in which literary art finds expression. The introductory chapters of this manual are devoted to such an analysis. A special claim in favor of this handbook is conciseness as well as comprehensiveness. While dealing in a practical way with all the departments of literature. I have endeavored to give the briefest possible compendium of the best criticism. The "first principles" of literary art are tersely set forth and their application to the various prose-forms and verse-forms is equally terse. In thus economizing the student´s time and attention.
