English Literary Criticism is a collection of essays written by various authors that explore the field of literary criticism in the English language. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of literary criticism, different approaches to analyzing literature, and the role of literature in society. The essays delve into the works of famous English authors such as Shakespeare, Dickens, and Austen, as well as modern writers like Salman Rushdie and Zadie Smith. The authors of the essays offer their own unique perspectives and insights into the world of literature and literary criticism, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the English language and its literary traditions.I find I have anticipated already, and taken up from Boccace before I come to him; but there is so much less behind; and I am of the temper of most kings, who love to be in debt, are all for present money, no matter how they pay it afterwards; besides, the nature of a preface is rambling, never wholly out of the way, nor in it. This I have learned from the practice of honest Montaigne, and return at my pleasure to Ovid and Chaucer, of whom I have little more to say. Both of them built on the inventions of other men; yet since Chaucer had something of his own, as the Wife of Bath's Tale, The Cock and the Fox, which I have translated, and some others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
