Synopsis
Excerpt from Judgment in Literature
IN nearly all large towns, and especially in the capital cities of civilized nations, there are collections of statues, pictures, and books. Even in the streets we see the forms of men and women, wrought in marble or cast in bronze, placed high upon pedestals to meet the gaze of every one who may pass by them. In nearly every house there are pictures upon the walls, and vases or other ornaments arranged upon shelves, and books lying on the table and in large houses there are whole chambers set apart solely for collections of pictures and statuary, or lined with rows of books. The mere existence of these objects shows us that Art is an element in the life of civilized man, for we should not care to surround ourselves with such things, unless we wished our minds to he sometimes occupied both with them and with the thoughts which they suggest.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the fundamental principles that govern judgment in literary criticism from the time of Plato through to the present day. The work traces the evolution of critical ideas, beginning with the ancientsā preoccupation with truth in storytelling and progressing to modern sensibilities which emphasize artistic merit and the evocation of emotions. The author's comprehensive analysis encompasses both classical and contemporary criticism, highlighting shifts in focusā"from the rigid application of Aristotelian rules in the 17th century to the psychological insights and subjective interpretations of the 20th century. Along the way, the book probes the tension between the objective and subjective in literature, revealing the profound impact of a reader's own experiences and perspectives on their interpretation of a work. Ultimately, this book demonstrates how our understanding of literature is continually shaped by the interplay of historical, aesthetic, and personal factors, providing invaluable guidance for both aspiring critics and serious readers seeking to deepen their appreciation of the written word.
