Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elizabethan Criticism of Poetry: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts, and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The critical writings dealt with have been limited chie?y to those that come within the reign of Elizabeth, most of which are included in G. Gregory Smith's edition of Elizabethan Critical Essays, a valuable source of material, the obligations to which are hereby acknowledged. In the discussions of certain topics, however, reference has been made to the comments of earlier and later critics. The comments from Bacon, Shakespeare, and Ben Jonson have been given for the most part in the footnotes. Jonson' s criticism has not been included m the text of the discussion for the reasons that it represents a somewhat later develop ment, and that it has already received careful attention in other studies.
