About This Item
Routledge & Kegan Paul LTD, London, 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine. "The present volume…deals with the applications of aesthetic theory to the craft of criticism. The author maintains that all assessment of works of art in aesthetic terms and all appreciative writing about the arts involve tacit assumptions about the nature of artistic excellence as such, and demonstrates that so long as latent theory is muddled or confused criticism cannot successfully formulate coherent and intelligible judgments. 'Aesthetics and Criticism' is therefore concerned broadly with the problem of communication and coherence in criticism."" [Dust Jacket] Minor chipping at top of dust jacket spine. 1ST EDITION
