By T. Fisher Unwin and F. F. Unwin

Book Overview

Colloquies of Criticism: Or Literature and Democratic Patronage is a book written by F. F. Unwin and published in 1901. The book discusses the relationship between literature and democratic patronage, exploring the role of the public in shaping literary culture. Unwin argues that the rise of democracy has fundamentally changed the way literature is produced and consumed, with a greater emphasis on popular taste and accessibility. The book takes the form of a series of conversations between a group of literary critics, who debate the merits of various authors and works. Through these conversations, Unwin explores the tensions between artistic excellence and commercial success, and the ways in which literary criticism can help to bridge this divide. Overall, Colloquies of Criticism is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between literature, democracy, and culture, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the role of the public in shaping artistic production.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
