by I. A. Richards (Author)
I. A. Richards (1893-1979) was a founder of modern literary critical theory. Seeking a more exacting approach, he analyzed literary texts as syntactical structures that could be broken down into smaller interacting verbal units of meaning. Practical Criticism, first published in 1929, is a landmark volume in demonstrating this method.
