ABSTRACT
How do we answer this enormously important question of what to read out of everything that has been written? Maybe only true criticism can answer it, the kind, as Matthew Arnold says, that was established with the purpose of informing and promoting the best of both early and modern writers. From this will appear unbiased criticism that does not belong to any party but that simply understands and appreciates art. And if it establishes enough authority, it will be stronger than all the money-making enterprises.
