Description

Examines literary modernism in its relation to the history of criticism by analysing the role of Aristotelian principles, and others. Despite their initially incompatible attitudes to literary history and criticism, this study discloses their convergence on the Aristotelian notion of formal affectivism, demonstrated through conceptual shifts.
