The science of criticism, just like other sciences, works on definite set of criteria and experience of the critic. Making a thorough insight into the literary creation, the critic analyzes each and every aspect-grammatical, literary and experiential-compares the result of analysis with definite set of standards of society and brings before the prospective reader the pros and cons enabling him to make selection of good quality literature. Through such criticisms, the writers also become aware where they have made errors and how they can create literature according to the expectation of society. Therefore, in addition to good writers the society must have good critics capable of asserting their points. The present book attempts at presenting American literary critics along with literary criticisms they made of contemporary literary creations of American, British and French writers. The book endeavours to highlight tremendous efforts made by these critics in bringing out the analysis and plus and minus of these literary creations. Becoming impartial judges for assessing quality of literature, they helped readers in selection of good quality literature. The book will be extremely useful for students, teachers, scholars, critics and general readers.
