"Three Studies in Literature" by Lewis E. Gates is a collection of literary critiques written in the late 19th century. This work evaluates the critical contributions and reputations of three notable literary figures: Francis Jeffrey, John Henry Newman, and Matthew Arnold. It delves into their styles and the lasting impact they have made on literature and criticism, exploring how these writers shaped public opinion and literary discourse. The opening of the book begins with an exploration of Francis Jeffrey's critical prowess, setting the stage for a discussion of his fluctuating reputation in literary circles. It describes how Jeffrey, once a prominent figure revered for his contributions to the "Edinburgh Review", has somewhat faded from scholarly attention. Gates praises Jeffrey's versatility and sharp style while also raising questions about the relative merits of his critiques. Through careful analysis, the text presents Jeffrey's influence on literary criticism and situates it within a broader narrative of the evolving landscape of 19th-century literature. This initial examination hints at the deeper evaluations of Newman and Arnold that will follow, making it clear that this work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these critics' roles in shaping literary criticism.
