Summary Essays on literary critics and scholars during a time of social and political change as well as cultural transformation. Provides information on the critics' points of view and their common aim of examining literature in terms of expectations that had little to do with whether literature was good or bad. Critical positions during this time were few in number and included impressionism, aestheticism, critical idealism, critical realism and scholarly historicism.
