The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism: Volume 7, Modernism and the New Criticism by A Walton Litz

This volume, first published in 2000, provides a thorough account of the modern critical tradition from the modernist and avant-garde writers of the early twentieth century, to New Criticism and beyond. The book offers a systematic and stimulating overview of the development of the key literary-critical movements, with a comprehensive bibliography.

'This informative volume shows that both modernism and New Criticism may complement 'theory' in letting texts speak without an imperious airing of the volume's own preoccupations' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Its twenty chapters, written by a distinguished team of contributors, cover most of the peaks and a few of the valleys of Anglo-American criticism between, approximately, 1910 and 1960 … This volume provides some wonderful instances of what being 'intelligent' about literature can be like.' The Times Literary Supplement
