How to Judge a Book: A Handy Method of Criticism for the General Reader (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Judge a Book: A Handy Method of Criticism for the General Reader
It is believed that the present volume differs from others on the choice of books in this: that it seeks to respect the right of every individual to shape his reading primarily by his own tastes rather than by the dictates of any other man's taste, however enlightened. Thus, in view of the strong popular preference for fiction, most of the chapters have been devoted to that class of literature. Special attention has been given to analyzing the novel, quality by quality, and furnishing test questions by which each of its aspects may be judged.
