A HISTORY OF
MODERN CRITICISM
by
RENE WELLEK
"One of the finest achievements of
American scholarship . • . his work
comes out just at the time it is
most needed, when the most re–
markable period of American criti–
cism has fully asserted itself but
needs a strengthening of historical
orientation before advancing fur–
ther; a time also, when American
scholarship, fully aware at last of
the interplay of scholarship and
criticism, is looking for the sort
of enlightenment and guidance
which this book provides."
