Burkeian Criticism
نویسنده
چکیده
In conclusion, we should like to add two admonitions. First, criticism is an art, not the raw tables or summaries of scholarship. The scholarship is a necessary prerequisite, and the formal reports, the compilations of the learned monograph, are essential to criticism. We have too much of unimaginative word counting, the pedestrian assemblage of arguments, the methodical and generalized commentary laid out on the Aristotelian pattern. Much of the New Criticism is exciting reading, and as such it serves an important recreative function of bringing literature to life. Now and then, as in Brigance's feremiah Black, we achieve the same end.'= But we need more of good writing. Second, we ought not conceive of rhetorical criticism too formally. Wayne Shuraaker summarizes the comparable problem of tiie literary critics in a single question: is literary criticism, as was once prett)' generally accepted, to 'measure literary works against accepted canons of aesthetic, rhetorical, and moral propriety," or is it "any intelligent discussion of literature?"^" Rhetorical criticism may include a discussion of the effect of the oration as a whole, or it may be an appraisal on canons inductively perceived, but it is both more and less — it is an intelligent discussion of oratory in the situation, oratory as spectacle, or of any one or more of the variety of topoi available to the critic.
