I.A. Richards and New Criticism Engelska 2009

No discussion of modern criticism can ever be complete without discussing I.A. Richards whose influence combined with those of T.S. Eliot and fr. Leavis paved the way for the development of new criticism. The present work stems from the need to offer an objective interpretation of richards's writings. In the context of wide-spread misinterpretation of richards's point of view The author has tried to trace the essential continuity between richards's early and later writings. The book is divided into eleven chapters. Omit the portion encircled I.E. Omit (preceded by an introduction) the distinction of this book lies in the fact that it presents a perspective study of I.A. Richards's theory of poetry. While unfolding the subtle, suggestive and consistent nature of richards's writings, the book discusses the underlying thread of continuity between I.A. Richards's theory of poetry and new criticism.
