About the Book

The literary criticism of Benedetto Croce is considered by many to be the vital part of his thought. These essays, some of which appear for the first time in English, show the breadth and depth of Croce's work as literary critic and presuppose his mature theory of art. The writings are here arranged chronologically according to their subjects, helping to lend coherence to the great variety of subjects Croce treated. Unlike other renderings, these works are annotated and include translations of Latin, Renaissance Italian, and German passages. Also included is a clear and cogent introduction to Crocean aesthetics and an up-to-date bibliography.

Review :
"This book may help the return to rationality and the re-establishment of some common ground in the complexity and intricacy of an area currently dominated by individual whims. The Introduction offers a theoretical synthesis of some essential aspects of Croce's aesthetics." - Giovanni Gullace "The universality of genuine art - in Croce's implicitly anti-historicist polemic - provides an interesting counter to contemporary American aesthetics, as does the notion of 'pseudoconcepts' in terms of modern genre criticism. This is both a solid and suggestive piece of work." - Gregory Lucente
