Ivor Armstrong Richards fue un influyente crítico literario y retórico inglés que se convirtió en una figura fundamental de la crítica literaria moderna. Sus obras, particularmente aquellas centradas en el significado, la crítica literaria y la retórica, sentaron las bases para la Nueva Crítica e introdujeron el concepto de 'crítica práctica'. Este enfoque condujo al desarrollo de las prácticas de lectura atenta, consideradas el inicio de los estudios literarios ingleses contemporáneos. Richards es ampliamente reconocido como uno de los fundadores de la erudición literaria moderna.

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.

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.
