Description

Explore the evolution of literary thought with this Routledge volume by J. W. H. Atkins. Originally published in 1951, this book examines the critical transition period between the Renaissance influence and the start of 19th Century Romanticism. It provides a detailed analysis of how various theories and judgments shaped literary appreciation during these two centuries. The text begins with an essential look at 17th Century French doctrines, which serves as the necessary background for understanding English critical activities. From there, the chapters move into the main lines of development and the most significant critics of the era.
