Abstract

This thesis is an exploration of the Neo-Humanistic themes in the works of Irving Babbit. The theories and criticism of this author may be studied through two approaches. A reading of his books and essays, which are copious and diversified, gives to the careful reader a firsthand introduction to his ideas. He has influenced the thinking of many literary men. From them, both his opponents and proponents, one may further study his theories. Much reading from both of these sources has been done by the writer, and the method used in arriving at conclusions has been largely one of comparisons.
