520 _a"A History of Criticism and Literary Taste in Europe" by George Saintsbury is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work aims to explore the evolution of literary criticism from its classical origins to the modern era, detailing the thoughts and contributions of notable literary figures. The book likely addresses key developments in literary taste and criticism, organized into multiple volumes. The opening of the work sets the stage for a thorough examination of literary criticism, emphasizing the importance of focusing on primary texts rather than secondary interpretations. Saintsbury introduces the concept of literary criticism as an essential evaluative function, one that seeks to determine the qualities that make literature effective and enjoyable. He outlines his intent to address this complex subject in a methodical manner, laying a foundation for subsequent chapters that will delve into Greek, Roman, and Medieval criticism, thereby framing the historical context of literary taste throughout Europe.
