Description:Excerpt from John Dennis: His Life and CriticismIn attempting this study of Dennis I have limited myself to what seemed best worth while, that is, to a discussion of his biography and of his work as a critic. In tracing the course of his life I have been obliged in large measure to break new ground, for practically the only study of Dennis's career is the useful but necessarily brief article in the Dictionary of National Biography. The life itself seems to fall naturally into three fairly well marked divisions - the first to the deathof Dryden in 1700, the second through the first decade of the eighteenth century, and the last from 1710 to the time of his death in 1734, a period characterized by'his well known liter ary quarrels. In dealing with Dennis as a judge of letters I have first outlined the chief critical tendencies of: his time and have afterwards attempted to indicate his relations with these various schools as shown in his attitude toward the great ques tions then debated in the republic of letters. I have tried to point out how Dennis anticipated some ideas that have gen erally been credited to later critics, and how his appreciation of the great national writers was truer and keener than that Of most of his contemporaries. I have also attempted to study the question of his inﬂuence upon subsequent criticism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
