GAYLEY, CHARLES MILLS, and KURTZ, BENJAMIN PUTNAM. Methods and materials of literary criticism. $3 Ginn 808.1
20–11325
“This book is the second of a series entitled ‘Methods and materials of literary criticism’, the volumes of which, though contributory to a common aim, are severally independent.’ The first volume (Gayley and Scott, 1899) was an introduction to the bases in aesthetics and poetics, theoretical and historical. The present volume applies the methods there developed to the comparative study of the lyric, the epic, and some allied forms of poetry. A third volume, approaching completion, will present tragedy, comedy, and cognate forms.” (Preface) The book is made up of two parts: The lyric and some of its special forms; The epic and minor forms of narrative poetry. Each of these subjects is considered under two aspects: Theory and technique, and Historical development, and a list of general references is provided for each, in addition to frequent references in the text. An appendix contains a brief bibliography of the history of poetry (60 pages) and there is an index.
