Critical Occasions examines the relations between selected critical texts of Dryden, Pope, and Johnson, and the theoretical problems that arise in writing the history of the critical past. It is a book about three great Augustan critics and about the theory and philosophy of history in its application to criticism. Philip Smallwood was Professor of English at Birmingham City University for many years and is presently Visiting Fellow in the Department of English at Bristol University.
