Ivor Armstrong Richards was an influential English literary critic and rhetorician who became a foundational figure in modern literary criticism. His works, particularly those focusing on meaning, literary criticism, and rhetoric, laid the groundwork for New Criticism and introduced the concept of 'practical criticism.' This approach led to the development of close reading practices, considered the beginning of contemporary English literary studies. Richards is widely regarded as one of the founders of modern literary scholarship.

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.
