Book excerpt: Offering major reevaluations of Dryden, Hume, and Johnson, Engell shows that 18th-century criticism cannot be represented by just a few major critics or by generalizations about Augustan taste, neoclassical rules, or "common sense." He presents a complex and highly varied body of theoretical writing and practical application by dozens of critics.
