Summary: "Literary Taste: How to Form It" by Arnold Bennett is a guidebook on developing an appreciation for literature, written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the misconceptions surrounding literary taste, arguing that it is not merely an aesthetic accomplishment but an essential part of living fully. Bennett emphasizes the profound connection between literature and human experience, urging readers to cultivate a deeper engagement with literary works to truly awaken their senses and enrich their interactions with the world. At the start of the text, Bennett outlines the purpose of literary taste and its significance in an individual's life. He critiques the common belief that literature is simply a means of social refinement or a hobby rather than a vital pursuit that enhances one's understanding of life. He elaborates on how genuine literary engagement can illuminate the beauty and complexity of the world, encouraging readers to approach classics with curiosity and commitment. Bennett's tone suggests that while the journey to forming literary taste may involve challenges and discomfort, it ultimately leads to a more enriched and aware existence.
