In the 1920's and 1930's the literary landscape resounded with the alarms and excursions of sundry critics. Controversy flourished; much of the writing had a vigorous, trenchant quality, as critics sought to relate literature to the time in which they lived. Today much of the vigor and controversy has vanished. Critics have become more and more concerned with methodology and with psychological analyses which readers can follow only if they are familiar with hosts of obscure myths and legends as well as with a special jargon.
