>Some of you may be interested to know that my new edition of I. A.
>Richards' works, 1919-1938, has just been published by Routledge in
>10 volumes. Richards is generally and incorrectly thought of as a
>literary critic, but as this edition and its introductions should
>make clear, he is a philosophical-psycyologist of aesthetics and
>language who took a diversion through the theory of criticism before
>returning to the philosophy of rhetoric.
>
>Each work in the edition has been reset (the page numbers of the
>original editions are in the margin to facilitate reference), and is
>prefaced by an extensive introduction detailing with composition
>history, and discussing other matters connected with the work (the
>theory of emotive meaning is a persistent theme running through the
>introductions). A selected checklist of criticism relevant to the
>volume is also provided. Volume 1 also gives an overview of Richards'
>entire career, up to his death in 1979, and a checklist of his
>writings in the period 1919-1938, together with a checklist of
>general criticism. Volume 10, which collects over fifty of the most
>important discussions of Richards in the period 1919-1938, is
>prefaced with a long essay on Richards' relations with Eliot and
>Leavis in which his philosophic integrity is contrasted with their
>more prudential evasion of theoretical issues and obligations.
>
