The Problem Of Style (1922)

By John Middleton Murry

Book Overview

The Problem of Style is a literary criticism book written by John Middleton Murry and first published in 1922. The book explores the concept of style in literature, analyzing the relationship between form and content in various works of fiction. Murry examines the works of writers such as Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, and Keats, as well as more contemporary authors like D.H. Lawrence and James Joyce. He argues that style is not simply a matter of surface-level ornamentation, but rather a fundamental aspect of a writer's vision and expression. Murry also discusses the influence of historical and cultural context on literary style, and the ways in which different writers have responded to the same cultural and artistic traditions. The Problem of Style is considered a significant work of literary criticism and remains relevant to contemporary discussions of style and form in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
