Discoveries- Essays in Literary Criticism
by John Middleton Murry
In this collection of essays and lectures, I delve into the world of literary criticism, inspired by the spirit of Ben Jonson. While some may find the title presumptuous, it reflects my belief that criticism is a deeply personal journey—an adventure of the soul among books. Drawing from the wisdom of Anatole France, I assert that each critic brings their unique perspective to the universe of literature. An honest critic constructs their insights based on genuine reactions, revealing more about themselves than their stated beliefs. The thrill of immersing oneself in exploration and the joy of discovery are what I cherish most in this craft. Join me in experiencing the elation that comes from engaging deeply with the written word.
