Download or read book The Theory of Criticism written by Raman Selden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is divided into five parts and covers: representation; subjectivity; form, structure and system; history and society; morality, class and ideology. Each part contains several thematic sections in which extracts from different writers and periods are juxtaposed. The study of literary theory has tended to concentrate on very recent developments. This volume, however, establishes both a sense of the continuities from Plato to the present day as well as the discontinuities. These are presented through comparisons and contrasts across the entire field of critical history.

Excerpt: ... chapter second What Is Litebattjre? It was stated at the close of the previous chapter that the principles of criticism must be derived from a study of the literature itself; that a book is not literature because it conforms to certain rules, but rather that these rules are valid because they are drawn from admitted works of literature. Obviously, then, at the outset of our discussion, this question presents itself: What is the body of writings from which these rules and principles are drawn? What is literature? Moreover, if we can answer this question satisfactorily, we may find ourselves advanced some way in our discussion of these principles themselves. Since, if there be any discoverable essentials of literature as such, we shall be most likely to find all valuable critical principles, or laws, by considering carefully these essentials, their relative value, the conditions on which they depend, and the ways in which they are combined. But here we meet a difficulty which constantly recurs in critical discussion, --the difficulty of giving accurate definition to words in common use with a wide and vague significance. Such words as literature, as also, for other examples, beauty, poetry, imagination, idealism, are used by us all without any attempt to define for ourselves precisely what we mean by them. We find they designate accurately enough the most of the things associated with them in our thought, and we do not trouble ourselves if there be, so to speak, a ragged fringe on either side of the line of their meaning. It is only when we try to define such terms that we realize how vague and careless is our use of them. We find it difficult to make out with precision the limits of meaning we ourselves would assign to them; and when we..

Book excerpt: This book is a guide to the history of literary criticism from antiquity to the present day. It not only provides an overview of the major movements, figures, and texts of literary criticism, but also supplies the cultural, historical, and philosophical background which enables students to see them in context. The organization of the book is broadly chronological. Starting with a comprehensive section on classical literary criticism, it shows how the central philosophical principles of Plato and Aristotle not only underlie their specific comments on literature, but also lay out the foundations and categories of much subsequent Western thought. Similarly, for each subsequent period, the book combines background information, whether on the philosophy of Locke, the history of the French Revolution, the political theories of Marx and Engels, or Freud's views on civilization, with coverage of the major figures and texts of literary-critical thought.

Book excerpt: Literary Theory and Criticism: An Introduction provides an accessible overview of major figures and movements in literary theory and criticism from antiquity to the twenty-first century. It is designed for students at the undergraduate level or for others needing a broad synthesis of the long history of literary theory. An introductory chapter provides an overview of some of the major issues within literary theory and criticism; further chapters survey theory and criticism in antiquity, the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the nineteenth century. For twentieth- and twenty-first-century theory, the discussion is subdivided into separate chapters on formalist, historicist, political, and psychoanalytic approaches. The final chapter applies a variety of theoretical concepts and approaches to two famous works of literature: William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
