, Rawlinson, David H. The practice of criticism. London, Cambridge U.P., 1968, xvii, 229pp., PAPERBACK, very good. Jonson, Blake, Shakespeare, Hardy, Eliot, Thackeray, Lawrence, and more considered. "This book is both an introduction to practical criticism and a course for students. It offers an impressive range of passages and exercises, in prose and verse, closely analysed in relation to time, 'difficulty', and genre. Mr Rawlinson considers the problems of the beginner, and discusses the mistakes and misconceptions that sometimes spoil practical criticism courses. In his general discussion of topics such as rhythm, tone and imagery, the author is careful not to be too abstract ; throughout the book precept is reinforced by example, theory by practice.". 9780521095402 ISBN 0521095409.…
