"Early Reviews of English Poets" by John Louis Haney is a literary collection written in the early 20th century. This compilation focuses on reviews of notable English poets from the 18th to the 19th century, presenting criticisms that differ from modern perspectives. The collection aims to highlight various responses to significant works, illustrating the evolution of literary criticism and its sometimes harsh impact on authors. The opening of the text introduces the reader to Haney's intent behind compiling early reviews of English poets. He reflects on how literature has historically come under scrutiny and the role critics play in shaping an author’s reputation. Citing notable poets like Gray and Goldsmith, Haney explores contemporary criticisms of their works, emphasizing the disconnect between initial reviews and the eventual literary esteem these poets gained. The preface sets the stage for a deeper examination of how critical receptions vary over time and how the perceptions of these poets' works have changed from their first appearances to modern-day appreciation.
