Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 11 As there are critics and critics, so there is criticism and criticism. By etymology, if not always in actual fact, a critic is something of a judge, one who is able or apt to judge. But in practice we have not contrived to save the name from sinister associations. Like its near neighbour, the word "censorious," it has acquired a meddling character, a suggestion of the Pharisee or superior person. It is too much to expect either "critic" or "censor" to be a welcome figure. In truth, the critic is very prone to forget that his function is that of a judge, to try and not to theorise, to hold the balance and not to be the special pleader tugging at one of the suspended scales. There is, accordingly, some solid ground for the popular dislike and distrust of "Criticism" and "the Critics." It is not in human nature to stand by unmoved while things, or books, or persons we value and revere are being criticised or even merely analysed with cold dispassionateness. The religious mind is restive while its Sacred Writings are being dissected. For it they are living oracles.
