Summary "Art Principles in Literature" by Francis P. Donnelly is a scholarly study exploring the principles of art as they apply to literature, written in the early 20th century. The text delves into classical understandings of art, particularly referencing Aristotle's aesthetics, and critiques contemporary shifts in literary education and practice. The aim is to reaffirm foundational artistic principles in light of modern experimentation and individualism, highlighting literature's role in education and culture. At the start of the book, the author contextualizes his discussion within a landscape of changing artistic paradigms, noting the departure from classical literature in educational settings. Donnelly emphatically argues against unchecked individualism in art, suggesting that it leads to an incoherent and often solipsistic expression disconnected from societal relevance. He asserts that art must not only reflect individual experience but should also resonate with universal human nature, thereby preserving art’s integrity and purpose in engaging with broader truths and moral responsibilities. This opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of how art principles can guide both the appreciation and education of literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
