This anthology provides a critical overview of the development of literary theory from classical antiquity to the present day. It includes key texts from major theorists, along with introductory essays that provide context and analysis.

The anthology is divided into three parts. The first part, "Classical Criticism," includes texts from Plato, Aristotle, Horace, and Longinus. These texts lay the foundation for Western literary theory, and they continue to be influential today.

The second part of the anthology, "Medieval and Renaissance Criticism," includes texts from Augustine, Dante, and Erasmus. These texts reflect the changing views of literature and art during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
