Publisher's Synopsis
""The Problem of Style"" is a critical analysis of the concept of style in literature, written by John Middleton Murry and first published in 1922. Murry explores the nature of style and its relationship to the content of a work, arguing that style is not simply a matter of decorative language, but rather an integral part of the writer's artistic vision. He examines the styles of various writers, including Shakespeare, Milton, and Keats, and discusses the ways in which their styles reflect their individual worldviews and aesthetic sensibilities. Murry also considers the role of style in the modernist movement, particularly in the work of writers such as James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. Throughout the book, Murry emphasizes the importance of style as a means of expressing the complexities of human experience and of creating a unique and meaningful artistic vision. ""The Problem of Style"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to be relevant to literary criticism today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
