Excerpt from Elementary Guide to Literary Criticism A glance at the table of contents will clearly reveal the plan. The work is divided into three parts, the first of which treats of fundamental principles. In three chapters the nature of criticism, the relation of the author to his work, and the aesthetic principles underlying literary art are briefly discussed.

Excerpt from The Principles of Criticism: An Introduction to the Study of Literature The purpose of this book is to present an account of the main principles of literary criticism, and to illustrate these principles by passages from great writers. The book will, therefore, be found to contain (in addition to the text) a collection of noteworthy critical utterances. The translations from the Greek, Germany and French have been done by the Author. References are made (with two exceptions) to the text of Aristotle by the pages of Immanuel Bekker's large (Berlin) edition; and to that of Plato, by the pages of the edition of Henry Stephens. Addison is cited by numbers of the Spectator, and Lessing by chapters of the Laocoon. In the case of other authors, the footnotes will sufficiently indicate the sources of reference.

Excerpt from English Literature and Literary Criticism: A Practical Guide to Systematic Reading and Study; Comprising Typical Selections, Illustrative Criticisms, and Exhaustive Analyses of the Best and Most Notable Works in the English Language English literature is not contained in a single book, nor in any specified number of books. No single volume can teach English literature. The best text-book is that whichwill direct the student what to study, how to study, and how best to apply the knowledge acquired by that study. It is hoped that the present work will, in some measure, per form the office of such a guide, and that it will serve as a. Practical introduction to the study of the best and most notable works in the English language. The chronological arrangement usually adopted in books upon this subject has been in most part abandoned for the more natural arrangement by which works of a similar character are grouped and studied together and compared with each other. The student's attention is directed first and princi pally to books, rather than to authors; and the Opinions of our best critics concerning these books are fully and freely quoted. For historical information regarding the times in which these works were produced, and the circum stances which brought them forth, the student is referred to books of history; and for a knowledge of the lives of the men and women who wrote them, he is sent to books of biography. Illustrative extracts are frequently given, but only such as are deemed necessary either to arouse an interest in the works under discussion, or to assist the student in forming a just conception of' their literary merits. From books which are easy of access or generally known, fewer selections are quoted; for the student should, whenever possible, eschew extracts and turn to the books themselves. The best versions and the most approved texts have been generally followed, and, with but few exceptions, the orthography and punctuation of the origi nals have been carefully preserved. Except in rare cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Some Principles of Literary Criticism The following chapters were first prepared for the college lecture room, and, although since rewritten, they doubtless still betray by a certain dull, didactic manner the place of their origin. While directing the work of college classes, I had often looked about for a book that should give a compendious statement of the essentials of literature and the grounds of critical estimate. Finding no such book, I essayed to make one. Two or three books on the subject - born, I judge, of the same want that produced this one - have indeed appeared since these lectures were first written; but their purpose and method are quite different from those I have had in mind. I have attempted neither to expound a philosophy of criticism nor to elaborate a critical method; but simply to state, as plainly as I might, some qualities that by common consent are to be found in all writing deserving to be called literature, and to lay down some fundamental principles that must be assumed in all sound critical judgments.

Excerpt from The Elements of Style: An Introduction to Literary Criticism This book will, I hope, Speak for itself; and, in any case, it is not, I think, likely to be assisted by any prefatory words, whether of recommendation or deprecation. But I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to many givers of help, criticism, and encouragement; especially to Mr. Sidney Smith, b.a., late Scholar of Queen's College, Cambridge, whose help was invaluable at various stages of the work; and to Mr. H. Fowler, of Clifton College, who very kindly read the proofs and made suggestions, most of which I have gladly followed. I wish also to thank my publishers, to whom I owe the index, as well as the analytical table of contents in its present form.
