مجنوں گورکھپوری کے چند تنقیدات کا مجموعہ ہے جن کو انہوں نے اپنے مقالات سے الگ کر کے اس لئے شایع کرایا کہ حال میں لکھے گئے تھے اور ان کو ترتیب بار ہونا چاہئے تھا کیوں کہ ایک دوسرے سے منسلک ہیں ۔ ادب اور زندگی ، مبادیات تنقید، زندگی اور ادب کا بحرانی دور ، ادب اور ترقی، ہندوستانی ناٹک، نظیر اکبرآبادی، حالی کا مرتبہ اردو میں۔ یہ سارے مقالے نہایت ہی اہمیت کے حامل اور تنقیدی پہلو سے پر ہیں ۔ اس لئے انہوں نے ان مقالات کو اپنے دیگر مقالات سے علاحدہ کر کے چھپوایا ۔ ان کا مطالعہ کرنے سے قاری کا تنقیدی شعور بیدار ہوتا ہے اور اہم نکتوں سے شناسائی ہوتی ہے ۔
