Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of literary criticism and its potential as a true science. Examining the history of critical thought, the author dissects the dominant schools of criticism, including the Greek, Italian, Spanish, French and German approaches. He argues that while criticism has historically focused on aspects like language, form, and biography, a deeper, more scientific understanding requires a comprehensive and comparative approach. The author critiques the prevailing emphasis on grammar and philosophical abstraction, advocating for a method that balances the intrinsic beauty of art with its inherent intellectual power. He explores the concept of "the hidden soul," suggesting that art, at its core, addresses the unknown and unknowable within us. Throughout the book, the author highlights the need for a new framework of comparative criticism to illuminate the interrelationships between different art forms and to uncover the profound connections between human thought and artistic expression. This book offers a compelling and thought-provoking analysis of the art of literary criticism, ultimately arguing for a more nuanced and scientific understanding of its true potential.
