of the author and the history of the critic.

7. The new Historicist Approach
New Historicism:-
• Provides background information necessary to
understand how literary texts were perceived in
their time.
• Show how literary texts reflect ideas and attitudes
of the time in which they were written.
8. Characteristics of New Historicism
Placing the literary text the frame of a non-literary
text.
Refusing privilege the literary over the non-
literary.
New Historicism’s goal is to understand intellectual
history through literature, and literature through
its cultural context,
9. Example
Salman Rushdie's Midnight’s Children is a fine
example because only through understanding how
the experience of partition, homelands that exist
in the subjective, and the idea of displacement in
Rushdie’s own life can the full magnitude of novel
be explored.
10. Comperision
Old Historicism
• Hierarchical
• A historical Movement:-creat a
historical framework in which
to place the text.
• “The word of the past replaces
the world of the past.
New Historicism
• Parallel reading
• A historicist movement.
Intrested in history as
represented and recorded in
written documents-history as
text.
• The aim is not to represent the
past as it really was,but to
present a new reality by re-
situating it.
11. Conclusion
New Historicism
acknowledges not only
that a work of literature
is influenced by its
author's times and
circumstances, but that
the critic's response to
that work is also
influenced by his
environment, beliefs,
and prejudices.
