This book, ‘Literary Criticism and Theory Unlocked’, is compiled from entire topics related to Literary Criticism and Theory. When we decided to write the book, the most basic problem we faced was how to arrange the criticism and theory topics and what to include. We have begun with classical criticism, where we have tried to compile some ancient Greek philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Longinus and Horace. We also included Ancient Indian critical theories like Rasa and Dhwani.
The second section begins with Renaissance criticism starting with Lodovico Castelvetro’s translation of Aristotle to John Milton’s Areopagitica. We have added the most important topics discussed in the subject of poetry and theatre. As we know, English Literary Criticism starts majorly with Philip Sydney and Stephan Gosson . Gosson started the debate on poetry, and Sir Sidney gave a fitting reply with his Apology for Poetry. We have included the debate further in this period. Milton, who was well known for his poetry, also wrote a significant treatise on the Licencing act for books in his Areopagitica.
