Volume 1 of The History of Literary Criticism focuses on criticism in the Classical period up to about A.D. 325.

It examines Roman figures including Horace, Cicero, Quintilian and Tacitus, and also considers Greek critics of the Augustan and imperial periods such as Longinus, and the neo-platonic, Christian and grammatical writers of later antiquity.
