David Cecil Quotes
The Critic's Aim Should Be To Interpret The Work They Are Writing About And Help Readers Appreciate It, By Defining And Analysing Those Qualities That Make It Precious And By Indicating The Angle Of Visions From Which Its Beauties Are Visible. But Many Critics Do Not Realize Their Function. They Aim Not To Appreciate, But To Judge; They Seek First To Draw Lines About Literature And Then Bully Readers Into Accepting These Laws.
