His voluminous theological works have established Frederick Denison Maurice as one of the most eminent Anglican clergymen of the 19th century. Little attention has been given, however, to his important role as literary critic. This study is an overview of Maurice's literary criticism, highlighting the principles and convictions that governed his scrutiny of major (principally British) writers as reflected in his periodical essays, lectures, and personal correspondence extending over a period of nearly 50 years.
