6. Pa fudd ydyw Beirniadaeth Lenorol?
B. Cyfieithwch a beirniedwch:
- (a) The temper and conditions of the age encourage the critical habit. Literature is no longer the affair of patron or coterie, but of the public. The public reads for itself and estimates.—(G. & S.).
- (b) Literary criticism has not yet reached the scientific, still less the cocksure period of its development.—(G. & S.).
- (c) A study of the canons of literary judgment becomes a study of the prin—ciples of literature. —(G. & S.).
- (d) The principles of literary judgment are akin to all aesthetic principles, they are in fact, only the application in a par—ticular field of the general laws of art. —(G. & S.).
- (e) For the creation of a master—work of literature, two powers must concur, the power of the man and the power of the movement, and the man is not enough without the movement; the creative power has, for its happy exercise, appointed elements, and those elements are not in its own control. —M. ARNOLD.
