Excerpt from Judgment in Literature

Just as there are certain principles of morality, recognized, if not universally, at least very generally by all civilized men, by reference to which we govern our conduct, so are there certain principles of Criticism of wide, if not universal, validity, by reference to which we guide our decisions in matters of taste. A knowledge of these principles, by teaching us to think rightly about works of art and literature, enables us to gain the fullest enjoyment both from these works and from the physical existences, or the facts of life, of which they are representations, in the same way as the principles of morality teach us to control our actions so as to be happy ourselves and contribute to the happiness of our neighbours. But while morality, or the art of right living, covers the whole field of man''s existence, criticism is concerned with an element only of that existence; and the first point which we have to consider is, therefore, the nature and extent of this element - in other words we must form some definite notion of what Art is, and of the part which it plays in the life of man.

In order to do this we will first recall the several arts and the works which they respectively produce, and then endeavour to collect the facts so recalled in a general idea.

Paperback. Etat : 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 ancients� 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 focus�"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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
