Abstract

The Modern Critic's Point of View
Grattan, C. Hartley | April 30, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The view of the position of literature here set forth does not translate it into a subordinate part of psychology, sociology, or anthropology. It simply advocates the placing of the findings of these and all other contributory sciences in the hands of the literary critic. Superficially this ideal would seem to be at wide variance with the opinion of the most conspicuous advocates of the newer approaches to criticism. Though literary criticism need not be written in terms derived from any one or even all of these disciplines, the light they shed upon the central problems of criticism must become available to the critic.
