Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of canons of criticism extracted from the notes of an 18th-century editor named Warburton. The author argues that Warburtonâs editorial practices were often arbitrary and uninformed, and that his canons of criticism are full of bad advice and contradictions. The author provides examples of Warburtonâs editorial blunders and explains how they violate his own canons of criticism. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of literary criticism, or in the work of William Shakespeare. It is also a cautionary tale for anyone who is tempted to take the word of a self-proclaimed expert without question. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
