In the chronological order Poe : “The Philosophy of Composition” (1846) Henry James : “The Art of Fiction” (1884) Virginia Woolf: “Modern Fiction” (1919) T. S. Eliot : “The Function of Criticism” (1923)
“The Philosophy of Composition” (1846) It is only with the dénouement constantly in view that we can give a plot its indispensable air of consequence, or causation . . . [A]s regards length, to all works of literary art —the limit of a single sitting—
“The Art of Fiction” (1884) Walter Besant’s “Fiction as One of the Fine Arts” ‘laws of fiction may be laid down and taught with as much precision and exactness’ Henry James: The characters, the situation, which strike one as real will be those that touch and interest one most, but the measure of reality is very difficult to fix. The reality of Don Quixote or of Mr. Micawber is a very delicate shade . . .
“Modern Fiction” (1919) Materialists: Wells, Bennett, Galsworthy Spiritualist: Joyce Examine for a moment an ordinary mind on an ordinary day. The mind receives a myriad impressions—trivial, fantastic, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant shower of innumerable atoms; and as they fall, as they shape themselves into the life of Monday or Tuesday
“The Function of Criticism” (1923) But it was worth my while to follow Mr. Murry’s comparison of Outside Authority with the Inner Voice. For to those who obey the inner Voice (perhaps ‘obey’ is not the word) nothing that I can say about criticism will have the slightest value. “classical in literature, royalist in politics, and Anglo-Catholic in religion”

Remembering the untold history “Sixty Million and More” 124 was spiteful. Full of a baby’s venom. The women in the house knew it and so did the children. . . by 1873 Sethe and her daughter Denver were its only victims.
