Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of descriptive criticism, a literary analysis genre, from its simple beginnings in 17th century England into the complex techniques used by 20th century critics. It distinguishes between three kinds of literary criticism, focusing on descriptive critici…sm, which the author defines as the art of analyzing existing literary works. The author argues that English descriptive criticism progressed in three stages, each inaugurated by a major literary figure, and explores how each stage, represented by Dryden, Coleridge, and Arnold, differed in its critical language, methodology, and concerns. The book is especially valuable for its insights into how descriptive criticism evolved from being a tool for poets to a discipline for readers of poetry, as well as its exploration of the ways in which the concerns of descriptive criticism expanded through the centuries to encompass questions of history, psychology, and morality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
