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.
