William Wimsatt and Cleanth Brooks, it seems to me, have a penetrating insight into the way in which this control is effected: `` For if we say poetry is to talk of beauty and love ( and yet not aim at exciting erotic emotion or even an emotion of Platonic esteem ) and if it is to talk of anger and murder ( and yet not aim at arousing anger and indignation ) -- then it may be that the poetic way of dealing with these emotions will not be any kind of intensification, compounding, or magnification, or any direct assault upon the affections at all.

He founded the influential literary journal The Southern Review with Cleanth Brooks in 1935.

Ransom has few peers among 20th century American university teachers of humanities ; his distinguished students included Donald Davidson, Randall Jarrell, Robert Lowell, Andrew Lytle, Allen Tate, Peter Taylor, Robie Macauley, Robert Penn Warren, E. L. Doctorow, Cleanth Brooks, Richard M. Weaver, and Constantinos Patrides ( himself a Rhodes Scholar, who dedicated his monograph on John Milton's Lycidas to Ransom's memory ).

Still, Ransom's former students, specifically Allen Tate, Cleanth Brooks, and Robert Penn Warren, had a greater hand in developing many of the key concepts ( like " close reading ") that later came to define the New Criticism.

The Southern Review, a literary journal co-founded in 1935 by Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks and located on the campus of Louisiana State University, publishes fiction, poetry, critical essays, interviews, book reviews, and excerpts from novels in progress by established and emerging writers.

The Southern Review was co-founded in 1935 by three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Robert Penn Warren who served as U. S. Poet Laureate and wrote the classic novel All the King's Men, and renowned literary critic of the New Criticism school, Cleanth Brooks.

After a long series of highly regarded editors and coeditors, including Charles W. Pimpkin, Cleanth Brooks, Robert Penn Warren, Albert R. Erskine Jr., Lewis P. Simpson, Donald E. Stanford, James Olney, Fred Hobson, Dave Smith, and Bret Lott.

Literary critic Cleanth Brooks described the novel as " extremely well-written ", full of literary allusions and exploring the plight of a lost generation.

In 1950, Kenner earned a Ph. D. from Yale University, with a dissertation on James Joyce, James Joyce: Critique in Progress, for Cleanth Brooks.

Some of his students ( all Southerners ) like Allen Tate, Cleanth Brooks, and Robert Penn Warren would go on to develop the aesthetics that came to be known as the New Criticism.

Nevertheless, in his essay, " The New Criticism ," Cleanth Brooks notes that " The New Critic, like the Snark, is a very elusive beast ," meaning that there was no clearly defined " New Critical " school or critical stance.

In response to critics like Hawkes, Cleanth Brooks, in his essay " The New Criticism " ( 1979 ), tried to argue that the New Criticism was not diametrically opposed to the general principles of reader-response theory and that the two could complement one another.

Other critics primarily influenced by his writings also included Cleanth Brooks and Allen Tate.

His major works include Verbal Icon: Studies in the Meaning of Poetry ( 1954 ); Hateful Contraries ( 1965 ) and Literary Criticism: A Short History ( 1957, with Cleanth Brooks ).

Written with Cleanth Brooks in 1957, Literary Criticism: A Short History is intended as “ a history of ideas about verbal art and about its elucidation and criticism ” ( Wimsatt and Brooks ix ).

Cleanth Brooks ( October 16, 1906 – May 10, 1994 ) was an influential American literary critic and professor.

On October 16, 1906 in Murray, Kentucky, Brooks was born to a Methodist minister, the Reverend Cleanth Brooks Sr., and Bessie Lee Witherspoon Brooks ( Leitch 2001 ).

New Criticism, as espoused by Cleanth Brooks, W. K. Wimsatt, T. S. Eliot, and others, argued that authorial intent is irrelevant to understanding a work of literature.

It became a solid pillar in the New Criticism, which was sweeping American literary culture, placing it firmly alongside Cleanth Brooks's Southern Review and John Crowe Ransom's Kenyon Review.

At Yale, Hirsch had studied with and taught alongside eminent Yale-based exponents of the " New Criticism ," including Cleanth Brooks and W. K. Wimsatt.

Florida's use of census and economic data, presented in works such as The Rise of the Creative Class ( 2002 ), Cities and the Creative Class ( 2004 ), and The Flight of the Creative Class ( 2007 ), as well as Bobos in Paradise by David Brooks ( whose " bobos " roughly correspond to Florida's Creative Class ), and NEO Power by Ross Honeywill ( whose NEOs deliver a more sophisticated level of evidence ), has shown that cities which attract and retain creative residents prosper, while those that do not stagnate.

These include 1981's Modern Romance, where Brooks played a film editor desperate to win back his ex-girlfriend ( Kathryn Harrold ).

In early 1971 Anderson and Felice departed ; they were replaced by Harvard students bassist Ernie Brooks, and keyboardist Jerry Harrison, completing the classic lineup of the Modern Lovers.

" Modern literary critic Van Wyck Brooks wrote that Lowell's poetry was forgettable: " one read them five times over and still forgot them, as if this excellent verse had been written in water.

Brooks ’ two most influential works also came out of the success of the booklet: Modern Poetry and the Tradition ( 1939 ) and The Well Wrought Urn: Studies in the Structure of Poetry ( 1947 ) ( Leitch 2001 ).

Along with New Criticism, Brooks ’ studies of Faulkner, Southern literature, and T. S. Eliot ’ s The Waste Land ( appearing in Modern Poetry and the Tradition ) remain classic texts.

Brooks worked as a songwriter in the 1980s, co-writing the number-one singles " I'm Only in It for the Love " by John Conlee, " Modern Day Romance " by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and " Who's Lonely Now " by Highway 101 plus The Oak Ridge Boys ' top 20 hit " You Made a Rock of a Rolling Stone ", Nicolette Larson's " Let Me Be the First ", and Keith Palmer's " Don't Throw Me in the Briarpatch ".

He began performing around 1969 as drummer with Boston band Catfish Black, which also included future Modern Lovers members Jerry Harrison ( also later of Talking Heads ) and Ernie Brooks.

The Courtauld Institute of Art ( London ), the Dallas Museum of Art ( Dallas, Texas ), the Museum of Modern Art ( New York, NY ), the Harvard University Art Museums, the Whitney Museum of American Art ( New York, NY ), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Indianapolis Museum of Art ( Indianapolis, Indiana ), the Sheldon Art Gallery ( Lincoln, Nebraska ), the Smithsonian American Art Museum ( Washington D. C .), the Tate Gallery ( London ) and the Walker Art Center ( Minneapolis, Minnesota ) are among the public collections holding work by James Brooks.

His best-known roles include a colleague of Albert Brooks ' film editor in Modern Romance, a talkative limo driver in This Is Spinal Tap ( 1984 ), the jealous, comedically-impaired U. S. Army officer Lt. Hauk in Good Morning, Vietnam ( 1987 ) and a shifty assistant to Marlon Brando — a parody of his Godfather role — in The Freshman ( 1990 ).

Later critics who refined their formalist approach to New Criticism by actively rejecting his psychological emphasis included, besides Brooks and Tate, John Crowe Ransom, W. K. Wimsatt, R. P. Blackmur, and Murray Krieger.

Brooks was the central figure of New Criticism, a movement that emphasized structural and textual analysis — close reading — over historical or biographical analysis.

A. Richards ’ The Principles of Literary Criticism and Practical Criticism, Brooks formulated guidelines for interpreting poetry ( Leitch 2001 ).

Because New Criticism isolated the text and excluded historical and biographical contexts, critics argued as early as 1942 that Brooks ’ approach to criticism was flawed for being overly narrow and for " disabl any and all attempts to relate literary study to political, social, and cultural issues and debates " ( 1350 ).

Brooks rebuffed the accusations that New Criticism has an " antihistorical thrust " ( Leitch 2001 ) and a " neglect of context " ( Leitch 2001 ).

Further, critics praise Brooks and Warren for “ introducing New Criticism with commendable clarity ” ( Singh 1991 ) and for teaching students how to read and interpret poetry.
