From what I have seen on the web, there are many things that can be talked about when talking about I. A. Richards. One thing I found interesting is that he studied and taught at Cambridge University. I may also add that one of the classes he taught was not regulated by the university. He actually had his students pay him weekly for the class. Another interesting topic about him is that he was not "trained" in literature, he actually studied philosophy, and now the work he did was also revolutionary in a way. He used his philosophy background to interpret poems in a new way. This helped his student better understand the meanings of the poems and showed a better way to interpret what others meant in literature. it helped his students better understand what is was that was really being said instead of the usual meaning found in any book.
