Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Achievement of American Criticism: Representative Selections From Three Hundred Years of American Criticism
I wish to thank Professor Harry Hayden Clark of the University of Wisconsin for his essay which appears in print for the first time as the Foreword to this book, and for the suggestions he has offered concerning the book itself. The Marquette University Library and the Milwaukee Public Library have been particularly helpful in extending to me more than the usual privileges. To Mr. John W. Rathbun, my research assistant during the preparation of the book, I owe a debt of gratitude which greatly exceeds the adequacy of this acknowledgment to express.
