First sentence: In his essay for A Companion to Shakespeare Studies, 'Shakespearian Criticism from Dryden to Coleridge' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1934), T. S. Eliot took much care to underpin his argument with what he described as a 'very simple' point: 'Shakespeare criticism will always change as the world changes' (p. 288).
