Thus far I have failed to give a coherent account of my literary method. But considering the subject with which I have to deal, it may be appropriate to glance at it more in detail. For critical appreciation there are two elements to bear in mind. One is the various aspects of the perfection and validity of art, the other, the value of the individual work. With regard to art, we may start with rank vice, namely, with the practice in literary criticism of partially grasping what is being criticised. We must examine not only the value of the work, but the value of the work to the writer. As a further corollary, we must not be content with seeing that the part is consistent with the whole; we must demand whether the whole is consistent with itself.
To the first of these questions I have already referred. The second resounds more in the air than in the interest of the reader. The losses suffered in the network trade are much greater than Mr. Hogg, who is so ingenious in spotting and so candid in pointing them out, admits. For who willingly relinquishes satisfactory work for the purpose of filling libraries? And as for myself, I have much else to do than to read aloud what I consider faulty. Such a mode of criticism, though it may be elegant and pleasing, is always superficial.
It is important, however, not only to be content with abnormalities, but to find out the reason for them. The critic, whose business it should be to evolve the laws of art, is confronted with the difficulties outlined in Chapter 2. To make good criticism, then, requires a familiarity with a bewildering number of obviously discordant elements, and to say something about them will hardly suffice. Whether or not the subject requires generalisation must be judged for each work from the character and treatment of individual passages; whether or not the work demands illustration, in the modern sense, must be judged from the work itself; whether it is true, whether honest, whether good, is dependent on the extent to which it works the will of the creator. d2c66b5586
