This volume also includes Stephen's three essays on American literature-on the novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, the poet James Russell Lowell, and American dialect humor of the mid-19th century. In addition, Stephen wrote a comprehensive essay on the novels of Honoré de Balzac as well as a searing review of the deficiencies of Hippolyte Taine's \u003ci\u003eHistory of English Literature.\u003c\/i\u003e As in all his essays, Stephen here displays a sensitivity to the philosophical and aesthetic thought behind literary works as well as a deep humanity that is not afraid to pass moral judgments on authors and their works. His criticism was pioneering in his day and remains a vital contribution to the literature of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45570942369943,"sku":"9798447225902","price":1321.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798447225902.webp?v=1767938345","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/literary-criticism-volume-5-edited-by-s-t-joshi-9798447225902","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
