Synopsis

Excerpt from A Reading of George Herbert

Because of the simultaneous publication of this book in both England and America, a note is perhaps necessary regarding certain critical issues which are in it assumed to be familiar matters of controversy, but which may be (as such) very much more familiar to American than to British readers. Some of the most vigorous and most in?uential modern literary criticism in America - often that concerned with 17th/century writers - shows the attitudes, presup/ positions, or controversial positions herein noted as ''modern'' pos1t1ons and variously supported or attacked. These sets of ideas cannot be equated with ''the New Criticism'', although most of the ''new Critics'' take some or all of the positions discussed. The quickest way to refer a reader to controversies so lively and new points of view so acutely and voluminously defended that they have gone far to transform the practice of criticism as well as the teaching of literature, is to cite the critiques and bibliography m R. W. Stallman, Critiques and Essays in Criticism, 1920 48, New York (ronald Press), 1949, the appendixes in Cleanth Brooks, The Well Wrought Urn, New York (reynal and Hitchcock), 1947, and relevant sections and bibliographies in R. Wellek and A. Warren, Theory of Literature, New York (harcourt Brace), 1949. It would be neither rewarding nor practicable to attach specific references to critical attitudes growing steadily more pervasive and issues growing steadily sharper, on both sides of the Atlantic, when these arise in the critical discussions which follow.
