Literature criticism


      Literature criticism is the study , evaluation and interpretation of literature. Literary criticism is through to have existed as long literature in the 4th century BC Aristotle wrote the poetics typology and description of literary form with many specific criticisms of contemporary works of art
     Literature theory and criticism both are in-cooperative to accomplish the same function in the society by depending each other. The following are relationship between literary theory and literary criticism.
      Literature theory is often the lens through which literature which literary criticism is done with my AP senior English students , in used Joseph Conrad , Heart of Darkness in the case studies in contemporary criticism series so , literary theory act us a lens to literary criticism simply because it help to study , evaluate and interpret the literary.
       Critics apply their theories to literary work. My own experience writing Mark Twain and the Brazen serpent can help to reveal the inter-relationship of literary theory and criticism. None of the techniques of the literary criticism .None of the of the techniques of literary criticism summarized bellow in inheritably  better or worse than other they are all tools developed in response to the theoretical approaches to exploring the meaning-explication that is of literary work.
        The text, however emphasizes that the point of view of the author implicit in it’s the key to whatever moral and plot it has so regarding HUCK Finn as the maker of the text seems to me an ill advised strategy. Nevertheless, the reader is well advised by the this theoretical camp to observe one’s own emotional and philosophical responses to HUCK Finn’s 1st person narration.
        Archetypal critical theory investigates congruence of the characterization or plot structure between a literary works with which the writer is known to have been familiar Harold Bloom’s doctrine that writers write in positive and negative response to their predecessors is a theoretical cornerstone.
         Reader response critical theory ignores matter of authorial intention to insist that all that is relevant to the discussion of text is the reader. beauty and meaning , according to the critics who critics who strictly adhere to this doctrine , are in the eye of the beholder since Huck Finn poses as author of this text created by the historical mark Twain .Some critics have concluded that there is no way to know more about what was on mark Twain’s than what Huck tells us. So reader response is most appropriate theory to apply in analyzing it.
         A part from relationship between literary and literary criticism but, there are sever difference such as centered in real world answer answers to puzzling questions that always emanate  from specific text  literature criticism then has the practical goal of formulating questions and supplying answer.
