Classical Literary Criticism
The works collected in this volume have profoundly shaped the history of criticism in the Western world: they created much of the terminology still in use today and formulated enduring questions about the nature and function of literature.In Ion, Plato examines the god-like power of poets to evoke feelings such as pleasure or fear, yet he went on to attack this manipulation of emotions and banished poets from his ideal Republic.Aristotle defends the value of art in his Poetics, and his analysis of tragedy has influenced generations of critics from the Renaissance onwards.In the Art of Poetry, Horace promotes a style of poetic craftsmanship rooted in wisdom, ethical insight and decorum, while Longinus' On the Sublime explores the nature of inspiration in poetry and prose.

Literature Against Criticism
"This is a book about the power game currently being played out between two symbiotic cultural institutions: the university and the novel. As the number of hyper-knowledgeable literary fans grows, students and researchers in English departments waiver between dismissing and harnessing voices outside the academy. Meanwhile, the role that the university plays in contemporary literary fiction is becoming increasingly complex and metafictional, moving far beyond the 'campus novel' of the mid-twentieth century. Martin Paul Eve's engaging and far-reaching study explores the novel's contribution to the ongoing displacement of cultural authority away from university English. Spanning the works of Jennifer Egan, Ishmael Reed, Tom McCarthy, Sarah Waters, Percival Everett, Roberto Bolano and many others, Literature Against Criticism forces us to re-think our previous notions about the relationship between those who write literary fiction and those who critique it.

'Criticism or acceptance?'
Criticism and acceptance both have their place in our lives. Criticism can help us grow and improve by pointing out our weaknesses and areas for development. On the other hand, acceptance allows us to embrace ourselves and others as they are, fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth. It's important to strike a balance between the two, using criticism constructively to learn and grow, while also practicing acceptance to cultivate self-compassion and understanding.

What is the meaning of direct criticism and indirect criticism?
Direct criticism is when someone openly and explicitly expresses disapproval or dissatisfaction with someone or something. It is clear and straightforward, leaving no room for interpretation. Indirect criticism, on the other hand, is when someone conveys disapproval or dissatisfaction in a more subtle or roundabout way, often through hints, sarcasm, or passive-aggressive behavior. It may not be immediately obvious that criticism is being expressed, and the recipient may need to read between the lines to understand the underlying message.

An Experiment in Criticism
Why do we read literature and how do we judge it? C. S. Lewis's classic An Experiment in Criticism springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite.He argues that 'good reading', like moral action or religious experience, involves surrender to the work in hand and a process of entering fully into the opinions of others: 'in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself'.Crucial to his notion of judging literature is a commitment to laying aside expectations and values extraneous to the work, in order to approach it with an open mind.Amid the complex welter of current critical theories, C.S. Lewis's wisdom is valuably down-to-earth, refreshing and stimulating in the questions it raises about the experience of reading.

Fashion Criticism : An Anthology
This is the first anthology of fashion criticism, a growing field that has been too long overlooked.Fashion Criticism aims to redress the balance, claiming a place for writing on fashion alongside other more well-established areas of criticism. Exploring the history of fashion criticism in the English language, this essential work takes readers from the writing published in avant-garde modernist magazines at the beginning of the twentieth century to the fashion criticism of Robin Givhan—the first fashion critic to win a Pulitzer Prize—and of Judith Thurman, a National Book Award winner.It covers the shift in newspapers from the so-called “women’s pages” to the contemporary style sections, while unearthing the work of cultural critics and writers on fashion including Susan Sontag and Eve Babitz (Vogue), Bebe Moore Campbell (Ebony), Angela Carter (New Statesman) and Hilton Als (New Yorker). Examining the gender dynamics of the field and its historical association with the feminine, Fashion Criticism demonstrates how fashion has gained ground as a subject of critical analysis, capitalizing on the centrality of dress and clothing in an increasingly visual and digital world.The book argues that fashion criticism occupied a central role in negotiating shifting gender roles as well as shifting understandings of race. Bringing together two centuries of previously uncollected articles and writings, from Oscar Wilde’s editorials in The Woman’s World to the ground-breaking fashion journalism of the 1980s and today’s proliferation of fashion bloggers, it will be an essential resource for students of fashion studies, media and journalism.

What Is Cultural Criticism?
In What Is Cultural Criticism?, two leading critics grapple with problems of literature, politics and intellectual practice.The debate opens with Francis Mulhern's account of what he terms 'metacultural discourse'.This embraces two opposing critical traditions, the elite pessimism of Kulturkritik and the populist enthusiasms of Cultural Studies.Each in its own way dissolves politics into culture, Mulhern argues.Collini, on the other hand, protests that cultural criticism provides resources for genuine critical engagement with contemporary society.Tension between culture and politics there may be, but it works productively in both directions. This widely noticed encounter is that rare thing, a sustained debate in which, as Collini remarks, the protagonists not only exchange shots but also ideas.It concludes with Mulhern's engagement with Collini's writing on the subordination of universities to metrics and bureaucracy, and a companion rejoinder from Collini on Mulhern's study of the 'condition of culture novel' and his essays on questions of nationality and the politics of intellectuals.

Genre criticism helps to understand how genres function as a form of communication and expression, and how they shape audience expectations and interpretations. It also allows for comparisons between different works within the same genre, and for a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical contexts in which genres develop and evolve.
