In his Essay on Criticism, Alexander Pope provides an intelligible and indispensable "thinking about thinking"— an idea literally similar to Jonathan Cullers contention on theory as an "inquiry into categories we use in making sense of things." In the same work, Pope cites his own rules for good composition and good criticism, and his own standards for what should be poetry (at least for him). Allen and Clark, in their Literary Criticism: Pope to Croce, consider the work as an honest attempt to set up practical rules in judging literature.
