Contemporary Critics is the compilation of criticism and theories. It deals with the mini school of thoughts. The theories involved in the book basically intend to judge the piece of art and when there is judgement it also involves a lot of contradictions. For example, half of the people say that you should change the art & not follow the rules whereas half of them say the opposite of it.
Also there's a lot of literature criticism involved from both the sides America and rest of Europe, so we see theories also based on these criticisms in this book.
Theories given at the end of the book will give you an idea about when this book was written like you know the postmodern theory so this was basically done after modernism.
I liked the orientalism philosophy very much given by Adverd Syed. It deals with the political views of the Eastern society.
The only thing I didn't like about this book is, it's cover. I believe it could have been a little better and more attractive.
On a scale of 5, I would give this book 4 stars.
Also, if you are very much into literature stuff or you are a NET aspirant, then I would advise you to purchase this book.
