Excerpt from History of Literary Criticism in the Renaissance
This essay undertakes to treat the history of literary criticism in the Renaissance. The three sections into which the essay is divided are de voted, respectively, to Italian criticism from Dante to Tasso, to French criticism from Du Bellay to Boileau, and to English criticism from Ascham to Milton; but the critical activity of the sixteenth century has been the main theme, and the earlier or later literature has received treatment only in so far as it serves to explain the causes or conse quences of the critical development of this central period. It was at this epoch that modern criticism began, and that the ancient ideals of art seemed once more to sway the-minds of men; so that' the history of sixteenth-century criticism must of necessity include a study of the beginnings of critical activity in modern Europe and of the grad ual introduction of the Aristotelian canons into modern literature.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical development of literary criticism in the Renaissance era, particularly examining the influence of Italian humanism on the formation and evolution of classicism in modern European letters. The author traces the origins and causes of the classicist spirit in modern literature and reveals the sources of the rules and theories embodied in the neo-classicist literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. The book studies the works and ideas of major Renaissance critics like Dante, Petrarch, and Tasso, exploring the conflicts and convergences between neo-classicist and romantic elements in Italian criticism. Ultimately, the author demonstrates how the critical activity of Italian humanism laid the groundwork for the establishment of aesthetic foundations of literature and the restoration of beauty as a central tenet of art.
