	Anatomy of Criticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Finally, he stresses that while many feel an "emotional repugnance" to schematization of poetry, the schematization should be regarded as an aspect of criticism, not the vibrant, personal, direct experience of the work itself--much as the physicist turns away from her systematic work to enjoy the beauty of the mountains.
		In criticism, the study of the archetypal phase of a symbol is akin to the "nature" perspective in the psychological debate over nature versus nurture.
		The third essay is the culmination of Frye's theory in that it unites the elements of characterization and each of the five symbolic phases presented in the first two essays into an organic whole.

	Essay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An essay is a short work that treats a topic from an author's personal point of view, often taking into account subjective experiences and personal reflections upon them.
		An essay is, by definition, a work of non-fiction, and is often expository.
		In recent times, essays have become one of the chief tools by which colleges and universities judge the mastery and comprehension of material, and they are sometimes used as a part of the criteria by which the student body is selected as well.

	William Hazlitt's Essay, "On Criticism."
		Criticism is an art that undergoes a great variety of changes, and aims at different objects at different times.
		At first, it is generally satisfied to give an opinion whether a work is good or bad, and to quote a passage or two in support of this opinion: afterwards, it is bound to assign the reasons of its decision and to analyse supposed beauties or defects with microscopic minuteness.
		A critic does nothing nowadays who does not try to torture the most obvious expression into a thousand meanings, and enter into a circuitous explanation of all that can be urged for or against its being in the best or worst style possible.

	Robert Christgau: An Essay on Criticism
		There are schools of rock criticism which are clearly "academic," even if written by journalists with no academic credentials at all, and classes in rock criticism taught by instructors who have never written a critical line in their lives.
		Consumer guidance might be thought the lowest form of criticism, and grading the week's pop output (now the UK arts page norm) has certainly debased the serious record review in Britain (Q editors are reputed to impose their own grades, for marketing reasons, on their hapless review staff).

	Literary Encyclopedia: Essay on Criticism
		It is, in several ways, a young man's poem, albeit an exceptional young man's: it is precocious in its learning; dazzling in the range and inventiveness of its imagery; injunctive in much of its syntax; and remarkably assured in the breadth of material it encompasses.
		It is, rather, an attempt to mediate between a wide range of traditional and contemporary critical thought and arrive at an acceptable synthesis of the two.
		French critics had taken the lead in establishing a new aesthetics, and treatises by Bouhours, Boileau, Rapin, Le Bossu and Dacier, dealing with such matters as the imitation of nature and the importance of the rules, dominated the last quarter of the seventeenth century.

	Alexander Pope's "Essay on Criticism": An Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Pope's "Essay on Criticism" is a didactic poem in heroic couplets, begun, perhaps, as early as 1705, and published, anonymously, in 1711.
		It was in part an attempt on Pope's part to identify and refine his own positions as poet and critic, and his response to an ongoing critical debate which centered on the question of whether poetry should be "natural" or written according to predetermined "artificial" rules inherited from the classical past.
		We should note, in passing, that in "The Essay on Criticism" Pope is frequently concerned with "wit"--the word occurs once, on average, in every sixteen lines of the poem.

		Then Criticism the Muse's handmaid prov'd, To dress her charms, and make her more belov'd: But following Wits from that intention stray'd: Who could not win the mistress woo'd the maid; Against the Poets their own arms they turn'd, Sure to hate most the men from whom they learn'd.
		Thus long succeeding critics justly reign'd, License repress'd, and useful laws ordain'd: Learning and Rome alike in empire grew, And arts still follow'd where her eagles flew; From the same foes at last both felt their doom, And the same age saw learning fall and Rome.
