Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

It is undeniable that the exercise of a creative power, that a free creative activity, is the true function of man; it is proved to be so by man's finding in it his true happiness. But it is un- deniable, also, that men may have the sense of exercising this free creative activity in other ways than in producing great works of literature or art; if it were not so, all but a very few men would be shut out from the true happiness of all men.

Reseña del editor

Arnold believes that the ultimate function of humankind lies in exercising its creative powers. He delineates the function of criticism in this work saying that it filters the contents that will reach society. That a critic can judge the greatness of a literary piece has been asserted.
