The text examines the development of critical methods and illustrates various phases via selected essays from significant critics, including Philip Sidney, John Dryden, and Samuel Johnson. The book aims to explore the relationship between literature and criticism through time, emphasizing how criticism has shaped readers' understanding of literature from the Elizabethan period onward.  At the start of this volume, Vaughan introduces his objective, outlining a historical framework for understanding English literary criticism. He notes that criticism arose later than creative writing and reflects on the early foundations laid by writers like Chaucer, while also hinting at a significant shift during the Elizabethan era. The opening portion further delves into critical responses to the rise of poetry and drama, highlighting the tensions between traditional classical standards and the emerging voices advocating for more innovative forms of artistic expression. As Vaughan sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of various critics from different eras, he emphasizes the interplay between poetic genius and an evolving framework of literary judgment.
