Literary 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.

    We do not talk—we bludgeon one another with facts and theories gleaned from cursory readings of newspapers, magazines and digests.
