Summary: "A History of Criticism and Literary Taste in Europe From the Earliest Texts to the Present Day" by George Saintsbury is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work examines the development of literary criticism and taste across Europe, exploring the influences and characteristics of criticism through various historical lenses, with a specific focus on English literature. The text likely addresses the evolution of critical thought and aesthetics, contesting the perceived superiority of foreign critical traditions. The opening of the book serves as a preface and introduction, in which Saintsbury outlines the intentions behind the volume and the importance of English criticism in the broader context of literary history. He addresses the tendency to undervalue English critics in comparison to their French and German counterparts, defending the significance and contributions of English literary criticism throughout various periods. Saintsbury indicates that he will explore the Renaissance period, starting with influential figures like Erasmus, while also highlighting the need for a more thorough appreciation of the English critical tradition. This sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Renaissance criticism and its lasting impact. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
