Literary Theories

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or theories:

    Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
