Excerpt from History of Literary Criticism in the Renaissance This essay undertakes to treat the history of literary criticism in the Renaissance. The three sections into which the essay is divided are de voted, respectively, to Italian criticism from Dante to Tasso, to French criticism from Du Bellay to. Boileau, and to English criticism from Ascham to Milton; but the critical activity of the sixteenth century has been the main theme, and the earlier or later literature has received treatment only in so far as it serves to explain the causes or conse quences of the critical development of this central period. It was at this epoch that modern criticism began, and that the ancient ideals of art seemed once more to sway the minds of men; so that the history of sixteenth-century criticism must of necessity include a study of the beginnings of critical activity in modern Europe and of the grad ual introduction of the Aristotelian canons into modern literature.
