George Saintsbury's The History Of Criticism And Literary Taste In Europe: Volume Two (1949)
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Full title is 'A History of Criticism and Literary Taste in Europe: From the Earliest Texts to the Present Day'. This is Volume Two, which is 'From the Renaissance to the Decline of Eighteenth Century Orthodoxy'. This is the Sixth Impression. Authored by the renowned critic George Saintsbury, this text cements Saintsbury's place as the foremost practitioner of the so-called conversational school of criticism; he analysed the style of literary works and the development of literary forms in an informal, lively, and readable prose designed as much to stimulate and entertain as to inform. Here, this posthumous publication presents a fascinating history of numerous literary theories, spanning the globe across Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, and Elizabethan England, to name but a few. Book is in remarkable condition for its age, with pages that are very clean and readable. Infrequent light annotations and foxing on some pages. Slight wear to cover. Previous owner's inscription at front.
