520 _a"Aspects of Literature" by John Middleton Murry is a collection of essays on literary criticism written in the early 20th century. The book encompasses various topics, focusing on the function of criticism itself, the poetry of specific authors, and significant literary figures, including Edward Thomas and John Keats, among others. Murry aims to explore the evolving nature of literature and criticism, providing a thoughtful analysis of what makes literature valuable, and how criticism can help illuminate these qualities. The opening of "Aspects of Literature" begins with a preface outlining the organization and intent behind the essays, explaining that they reflect Murry's personal growth as a critic. He discusses his approach to literary criticism, emphasizing the importance of understanding literature beyond mere review and the necessity of establishing standards that critics can depend upon. At the start, Murry reflects on the uncertainty in literary criticism of his time. This serves as a foundation for the essays that follow, in which he navigates topics such as the role of authors in society, the essence of aesthetic judgment, and the transformative power of literature, particularly the works of esteemed poets and philosophers.
