Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2012
I've had this book for years, and still haven't completely finished it, yet when I open it from time to time I'm never disappointed in what I learn. From Homer to Hume, these essays offer a more linear approach to the ideas of our time and times past, and n this linearity, it's easy to see how these ideas evolved over time.

I needed it for class, and it is really awesome. The editors made some really good headnotes with occasional bits of humor

It is very interesting and has what it says it does: critical theory since Plato. It's very well organized and structured. It helps to have a teacher explain the material, but it isn't absolutely necessary. It takes time to read and understand the material, but it's not impossible.

I was surprised when I got the book, it was in much better condition than was described in the description of the item
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2005
This was a frightening book when I had to read it in my LitTheory class. Now I'm so glad I held on to it. It's in my "desert island books " collection along with the Bible, complete works of Shakespeare and a dictionary. It's the volume Harold Bloom probably wishes he'd put together.

Don't let the vast panorama of ideas intimidate you. This tome is meant to be read a little bit at a time. It's a very "back to basics" experience. These ideas comprise the alchemical components of literary thought. Ideally, this is the book you return to in the course of reading whatever literature you fancy. Use it as a touchstone to help you discern, appreciate, and quite plainly, enjoy the art of literature.

I bought this book because it's well informed on its' subject matter. I paid $1, as oppose to Amazon's price: $100!

5.0 out of 5 stars Came brand new with hardcover! Thicker than 2nd edition.
Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2020
I was nervous purchasing. But the book came in mint condition, brand new with a hardcover. The book is considerably thicker than the 2nd edition. Various additions make the upgrade worthwhile. Must-have for those interested in literary criticism.
