Description: An incisive, informative history of literary criticism from the Ancient Greek period to the present day.
Synopsis: A THE Book of the Week Did you know that Aristotle thought the best tragedies were those that ended happily? Or that the first mention of the motor car in literature may have been in 1791 in Boswell's Life of Johnson?
