Literary Criticism

In compiling this volume, the editor has kept before him the needs of undergraduate, post graduate students of English literature who wish to know about the general aspects of literary criticism which will provide a good basis for the serious study of literature and which can be read with enjoyment by those who know but little of the history of literature. In this book, the editor has interpreted critic" as "one who has made a valuable contribution to criticism" rather than "one who has made a profession of criticism." This book is definitely for study rather than for reading. This stimulates the student to think about the ideas he has read and to prevent him from swallowing them whole.
