"This volume is part of an extraordinary achievement. As usual, Wellek is an admirable expositor, and his study is highly informative, a superb account of the critics' ideas, tastes, and polemics. Wellek is comprehensive, even about minor figures, and he never loses focus. These are brilliant first-hand readings, over which the author of this monumental study has complete command."?Victor Brombert, Princeton University
"[Wellek's] achievement is immense. Only a great linguist and a tough-minded scholar could have written this History."?Denis Donoghue, Wilson Quarterly
"If criticism escapes definition, so be it. Perhaps too much time has already been wasted on the abstract question of what is literature and who is worthy to man its barricades. The energy, the variety and the humanity displayed by Wellek ought to be enough. Nor have they gone out of style. . . . In an age when everyone is free to be a critic, the trade of judging has suffered from a surplus of homemade goods. Most of us do not do it very well. Wellek has shown how many ways have existed, and still exist, of succeeding. His history ought to survive."?Lawrence Lipking, New Republic
"One of the magisterial surveys of the century. A liberal education in itself for any real literature lover."?Edward J. Sozanski, Philadelphia Inquirer
