truth and immediacy. On this theory, the only good literary texts are realist ones.
Truth and immediacy might also not be eternal or sustainable categories...

It is with postmodernism that the hunger for novelty begins to fade. Postmodern theory does not rate originality very highly. It has put revolution well behind it. Instead, it embraces a world in which everything is a recycled, translated, parodied or derivative version of something else.
Postmodernism wnats to make new without claiming it's new -- since everything has been done before, but also we can violate the rules of the past.

Romantics, men and women are creative spirits with an inexhaustible power to transform their world.
Romanticism viewed the world, and individuals, in such a wy that it also implied a different value in literature.
-
The modernist work of art takes a stand against a world in which everything seems standardised, stereotyped and prefabricated.
Modernism builds off Romanticism. How do we make sense of Duchamp, Log (even Cage -- who might be classified as postmodern) ... resistance to conformity.

Novelty was a kind of eccentricity. The crea-tive imagination was dangerously close to idle fantasy. In any case, innovation was strictly speaking impossible. There could be no new moral truths. It would have been outrageously inconsiderate of God not to have revealed to us from the outset the few, simple precepts necessary for our salvation.
Different ideas about qualities to evaluate may not be accident, but can be linked with broader world view and even politics of an era.

originality
Often seen as important now, but not always.

Depth of insight, truth-to-life, formal unity, universal appeal, moral complexity, verbal inventiveness, imaginative vision:
Eagleton gives a suggestive range of qualities, but he hints that they are contingent -- i.e. have risen/fallen in importance over time. Why? And who effects this?

ITM is based on the theory of temperament. Temperament is a quality resulting from the interaction of opposite properties present in elements consisting of minute particles. Thus, a uniform quality occurs which is present in all of them. Hotness, coldness, moistness, and dryness are four temperaments that naturally occur in every existingsubstance including living creatures (2)
These temperments match up with the four-fold alchemical division that uses the same four qualities of heat, cold, moisture and dryness.
