Description
This book is an historical survey of some important theories of literary criticism which is designed to introduce more advanced students of English and other European literature to the nature and origin of these theories and ultimately to help them clarify their own attitudes to literature.
Reviews'Ruthven's range is so impressive, his definitions of ideas so incisive, his discussions so logical and clear that not only postgraduates, but others both younger and older, will find his book as delightful as it is useful.' J. M. Cocking, French Studies ' ... an extraordinary assemblage of quotations from a huge number of sources (mainly Classical and English), linked by lucid, cogent and often provocative and witty prose.' Notes and Queries
