Highly controversial when first published, Principles of Literary Criticism remains a work which no one with a serious interest in literature can afford to ignore.

The English Through Pictures series, created by I.A. Richards and Christine Gibson, aims to help learners quickly and clearly master English through visual aids. The authors carefully selected the most useful English words, focusing on those that can define others, and organized them into key patterns for effective communication. Book 1 introduces 250 essential words, followed by an additional 500 in Book 2. Together, these 750 words are utilized in Book 3 to develop a vocabulary of 1000 words, which can help learners understand up to 20,000 words in English due to their defining power. The series emphasizes learner responsibility, allowing individuals to immediately apply essential words in creating meaningful sentence patterns illustrated with simple drawings. This approach enhances focus on sentence structure and builds confidence as learners gain control over the language. The workbooks in Books 1 and 2 provide challenges that reinforce their developing skills as speakers and readers. With motivation and inspiration, learners will discover that fluent communication in English, the global lingua franca, is well within their reach. The series has already benefited millions in over forty countries.
