a lot of famous novelists and poets also wrote criticism. Some examples:

Edgar Allan Poe
Algernon Charles Swinburne
Oscar Wilde
T. S. Eliot

If you mean someone who is best remembered for their criticism, but also wrote well regarded literature:

Samuel Johnson
John Ruskin (was also a painter)
Walter Pater
William Empson

Oscar Wilde argued that criticism should be viewed as an art form in its own right.
