Product Description
In answering questions such as what is `modern' in literary criticism sincethe beginnings of the Early Modern age, this book does not follow the lines ofRene Wellek's famous History of Modern Criticism. It does not re-examinethe history of literary theories and poetics. It rather focuses on theconcepts and uses of what can be called `practical criticism' (Buchkritik) and the historicity of its institutional and categorical framesof references.Viewing them as fundamental structures of literary production, reception andcommunication, this study traces the emergence of a temporalization ofcultural processing, the periodical organization of a critical responseas published in the new medium of the journal, and the development ofdifferent uses and functions of the literary canon.In analysis, two basic paradigms of criticism have to be confronted: theclassical model of a critica perennis, as part of grammatica as aninstitution of learning, and the new conception and practice of critiquemondaine, which emerges as an institution in its own right during the 16thand 17th centuries in Europe. ...

Necessity of them, 2 -- 8. Authority of the ancients in favour of learning music, 9 -- 16. Union of music with grammar, 17 -- 21. Utility of music to the orator, 22 -- 30. What sort of music to be studied, 31 -- 33. Utility of geometry, 34 -- 37. Geometrical proof, 38 -- 45. Astronomy; examples of the benefit attending a knowledge of it, 46 -- 19.1. These remarks I have made, as briefly as I could, upon grammar, not so as to examine and speak f every thing, which would be an infinite task, but merely of the most essential points. I shall now add some concise observations on the other departments of study, in which I think that boys should be initiated before they are committed to the teacher of rhetoric, in order that that circle of instruction, which the Greeks call syxixXyoj iraidtla, may be completed.2. For about the same age the study of other accomplishments must be commenced ; concerning which, as they are themselves arts, and cannot be complete without the art of oratory, but are nevertheless insufficient of themselves to form an orator, it is made a question whether they are necessary to this art. 3. Of what service is it, say some people, for pleading a cause, or pronouncing a legal opinion, to know how equilateral triangles may be erected upon a given line ? Or how will he, who has marked the sounds of the lyro by their Et esie perfectce tine orandi scientia non potsunt.] Burmann. and moat of the recent editors, have et esse perfecta sine hit orandi tcientia non potest, from a... ...
