Description
Three English Literary Critics by Raj Kumar Mishra is a focused academic study of three major figures whose critical thought has shaped the understanding of English literature: Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Matthew Arnold, and Thomas Stearns Eliot. Designed especially for students and readers of literary criticism, the book offers a clear pathway into important debates on imagination, poetry, culture, tradition, criticism, and the role of literature in intellectual life. It begins with “English Literary Criticism: An Overview,” giving readers a broad foundation before moving into detailed chapters on the selected critics.
The book is structured into four chapters, followed by a select bibliography. The first chapter surveys the development of English literary criticism from earlier critical traditions to modern approaches, helping readers place major writers and ideas in context. The second chapter examines Coleridge, with special attention to his critical principles and contribution to English criticism. The third chapter studies Matthew Arnold’s critical essays and evaluates his key concepts with clarity. The fourth chapter focuses on T. S. Eliot, whose essays and ideas remain central to modern literary studies and are frequently taught in Indian universities.
Written in an accessible yet scholarly manner, Three English Literary Critics is useful for classroom learning, examination preparation, assignments, and independent study. It is particularly valuable for BA and MA English students seeking a compact reference on major critical thinkers. The book also supports readers who wish to understand how English criticism evolved through Romantic, Victorian, and modernist literary thought.
