New criticism
The document discusses New Criticism, a 20th century literary theory focused on close reading of texts. Key points:
- New Criticism examines literature as autonomous objects, ignoring authorial intent and historical context.
- It emphasizes analyzing how elements within a work (like language and structure) work together to create unified meaning.
- New Critics pioneered close reading to examine tensions, paradoxes, and ambiguities in the text and how they are resolved.
Literary criticism
This document discusses literary criticism and different approaches for analyzing literature. It provides an overview of various literary theories including moral criticism, formalism, psychoanalytic criticism, Marxist criticism, reader-response criticism, structuralism/semiotics, post-structuralism/deconstruction, new historicism/cultural studies, post-colonial criticism, feminist criticism, and gender/queer studies. It then gives examples of analyzing the children's poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb" from historical, formalist, and psychological perspectives to demonstrate how different theories can provide different interpretations. The document encourages the reader to try applying an unspecified theory to the poem "Humpty Dumpty."
Literary Theory And Criticism
This document provides an overview of various schools of literary theory and criticism that have developed over time, including approaches such as Cambridge School, Chicago School, Deconstruction, Feminist criticism, Psychoanalytic criticism, Marxist criticism, New Criticism, New Historicism, and Structuralism. It also defines and explains key literary terms and theories used in literary analysis and interpretation.
Coleridge's view on poetry
Coleridge viewed poetry as a mental process of the poet's mind that involves imagination and the modification of images, thoughts, and emotions. For Coleridge, poetry is a wider category than just poems in meter and can exist without the distinguishing form of a poem. True poetry results from the poetic genius through a mental process that connects ideas with images, the general with the concrete, and brings a sense of novelty to familiar objects through secondary imagination and a balance of emotion and order.

Literary Analysis
“What distinguishes literature from other forms of knowledge is that it cannot be understood unless we understand what it means to be human.” (J. Bronowski)
There are many ways to interpret, analyze, and evaluate literature. Perhaps you’ve already been asked to make an observation or take a position about a work of literature (whether a poem, short story, novel, play, or film) and examine such elements as plot, characters, theme, setting, conflict, structure, point of view, imagery, or symbolism. When you are asked by a teacher to write an interpretation, a critique, or a literary analysis, you are being asked to figure out what is going on in a work of literature. Much more complicated than merely summarizing a piece or writing a personal reaction to it, literary analysis requires that you read between the lines of a text and discover something meaningful there. Why does a specific image recur throughout a poem? How does a novel relate to a social issue facing the author at the time it was written? Do you recognize a pattern or perceive a problem with a character’s behavior in a play? How is the role of women significant in a movie? Answers to all of these questions can be determined only through critical thinking and the synthesis of your ideas.
· An interpretation—explains a text’s overall meaning or significance, explaining your reasoning for this interpretation with supporting evidence from the text.
· A critique—also called a critical response or a review, it provides your personal judgment about a text, supported by reasons and references to the work of art and often secondary sources.· A formal analysis—different from a critique in that examines a work of art by breaking it down into various elements to discover how the parts interrelate to create meaning of effect.
· A cultural analysis—examines a work of art by relating it to the historical, social, cultural, or political situations in which it was written to show how the author was influenced by personal experiences, events, prevailing attitudes, or contemporary values.
How can I persuade readers that my view or interpretation is reasonable?
First, be sure that your view or interpretation asserts a debatable claim.
For instance, if you were to say that “Antigone is a play about a young woman who questions authority,” you wouldn’t be saying much beyond a summary. But if you said that, “Antigone’s punishment is well-deserved because she violates the laws of the king,” that is debatable. Another student could just as easily argue that Antigone’s punishment is not well-deserved and that she should be commended for respecting the higher laws of the gods over the laws of the king.
Because you are essentially arguing that your perspective is a valid one, you have to support it effectively with reasons, evidence from the piece (direct references to specific quotations, lines, passages, scenes, etc.), and—if required—secondary sources (articles and bo ...

Why crime fiction is appealing.pdf
Crime fiction is one of the most popular genres in the world. While some see it as lowbrow entertainment, others analyze why it appeals to so many readers. The essay examines different theories for why crime fiction is popular, including the appeal of the story, setting, characters, and language. It also challenges W.H. Auden's narrow definition of crime fiction and argues that individual tastes and the diversity of subgenres have expanded what counts as crime fiction for modern readers.
Ewrt 1 c class 2 post qhq
This document provides an agenda and content for an EWRT 1C class on literature. It discusses definitions of literature, what Terry Eagleton says about defining literature, and how to write a QHQ (Question-Hypothesis-Question) response to assigned readings. The document examines different ways of defining literature and their limitations. It outlines Eagleton's view that literature transforms language and is determined by social values and ideologies. Students are instructed to write a QHQ response to the class readings, starting with an open question, developing a hypothesis through close reading, and concluding with a new question. They are assigned homework to read about literary theory and post a discussion question or QHQ online.
The death of the author
The document discusses Roland Barthes' theory of "the death of the author". It summarizes that Barthes believed that the meaning and interpretation of a text does not depend on knowing about the author's life or intentions. Instead, the meaning is created by the reader based on their own experiences. Barthes argued that removing the author from consideration when analyzing a text allows for more interpretations without limitations imposed by viewing the text only through the author's point of view. The longevity of a text depends not on its origin or author, but on how it is received and what meaning readers take from it over time.
the-short-story-101.ppt
The document provides information about short stories, including definitions, history, and elements of analysis. It begins with definitions of a short story, noting that a short story gives the illusion of life by capturing a moment or two in others' lives. It is under 40,000 words and can be read in one sitting. The history of the short story genre is then discussed, tracing its development in Germany, Russia, France, and the United States in the 19th century. Key elements of analyzing a short story are outlined, including plot, character, setting, atmosphere, and style. Strategies for reading a short story, such as multiple readings with different analytical lenses, are also presented.
Classical Literary Critism.pptx
This document discusses different approaches to literary criticism, including:
1. Classical - Focuses on early theorists like Plato, Aristotle, Longinus, and Horace.
2. Historical/Biographical - Sees works as reflections of authors' lives and times. Requires knowledge of historical/biographical contexts.
3. Moral/Philosophical - Believes literature should teach morality and explore philosophical issues. But can be too judgmental of works' artistic merits.
4. Formalism/New Criticism - A close reading approach focusing on textual elements like imagery, symbols, and form. But ignores contextual influences on the text.
5. Psychological - Applies theories like Freudian
Reader response
This document discusses reader response criticism, which explores how readers actively create meaning from texts based on their own experiences and perspectives. It provides several key assumptions of reader response criticism: the reader's response is what gives a text meaning; readers create meaning guided by their own goals and communities; and describing reading processes can enrich other readers' experiences. It then outlines various approaches reader response critics take, including focusing on readers' personal responses, implied readers, and how meanings may change with different details. Overall, the document examines how reader response criticism views readers as active meaning-makers and literature as only existing through the reader's experience.
Writing Assignments Poetry1) Write a poem of at least 10 .docx
Writing Assignments: Poetry
1) Write a poem of at least 10 lines using at least five items from your
“character list.”
2) Write a poem in a voice not your own. You might choose to write in the
voice of some historical figure, in the voice of someone you know, or in
the voice of a made-up character (perhaps someone from your story).
3) Write a poem in a traditional form (sonnet, villanelle, sestina), or with a
set syllabic count, or make up a form of your own.
4) Write a poem with a controlling metaphor (the likeness or connection
between two things—ie., life and baseball—should be carried through-
out the poem) or with at least three metaphors from the same context.
5) Write a poem in imitation of another published poem. If you choose a
poem that’s not in our textbook, please make copies for the rest of the
class and hand the copies in along with your imitation poem. When
preparing the “imitation poem,” try to decide what is essential to the
“original poem.” Is it rhyme scheme, meter, imagery, subject, language,
tone? Several of the above, or something else? Write a poem of your
own that includes those essential elements (it should be similar in form
and length to the original, but it doesn’t have to be exactly the same).
Turn in the poem as usual; by your name, put “Imitation of ‘(Title of
Poem)’ by (Author).”
6) Write about a domestic task, such as knitting, doing dishes, installing an
air-conditioner, or watering plants, OR about a ceremony, such as bap-
tism, transferring a car title, or being graduated. At last once in the
poem, contradict received wisdom. Dare to contradict your own beliefs,
if you wish. Ten line minimum. (Kevin Bath, EH 200)
7) Write about a game you played as a child—preferably a folk game, such
as
kick-the-can, capture-the-flag, scissors-paper-stone, hopscotch, or jump
rope, and not a commercial game like Monopoly or Space Invaers. Use
at least two figures of speech, but make sure they’re not clichés. This
poem must be in blank verse or in a fixed form (sonnet, ballad stanzas,
heroic couplets, terza rima, etc.) (Kevin Bath, EH 200)
Creating a 14-er
Compose a poem in which the lines end with the words below in the order
given. Find possible connections between the words, so that your poem gives a
sensible or logical account of something specific. We haven’t discussed rhythm
(syllable count) or accents (meter) yet, so use any rhythm you want to; but if
you make your lines 10 syllables each, you will have written a Shakespearean
sonnet.
Give your poem a title:
_____________________________________________quiet
_____________________________________________kiss
_____________________________________________riot
_____________________________________________abyss
_____________________________________________trees
_____________________________________________June
_____________________________________________peas
_____________________________________________prune
_____________________________________________cryst.
Archetypal Criticism
An archetype refers to universal symbols, themes, characters and images found across literature that reveal basic human truths. Archetypal criticism seeks to identify these recurring patterns and interpret them as manifestations of universal human experiences. Examples of archetypes include common literary tropes like the hero's journey, conflicts between order and chaos, and stock characters like the innocent youth, bully, or wise old man. Archetypal critics believe these patterns resonate with all people regardless of time or place.
Assignment InstructionsWrite a 500-750 word essay on one of the fo.docx
Assignment Instructions
Write a 500-750 word essay on one of the following topics. The word count does not include formatting or the works cited page.
Write a critical analysis of one of the works from weeks 1 or 2. An overview of approaches can be found
here
, but many are quite straightforward. Psychological, gender, sociological, biographical, and historical are all approaches that many use naturally in viewing a work. However, if your interest lies elsewhere, feel free to choose another approach.
Compare and contrast two of the stories from weeks 1 and 2. Be sure that you have isolated a strong and debatable thesis on which to build the essay. Simply pointing out the differences is not analysis. Toward that end, you may want to focus on a specific element of the stories.
If there's an aspect of the stories from these two weeks that particularly interests you, you may choose your own topic, but you must run it by me first to be sure it is headed in an analytical direction.
Your essay should be formatted in
MLA style
, including double spacing throughout. All sources should be properly cited both in the text and on a works cited page. As with most academic writing, this essay should be written in third person. Please avoid both first person (I, we, our, etc.) and second person (you, your).
In the upper left-hand corner of the paper, place your name, the professor’s name, the course name, and the due date for the assignment on consecutive lines. Double space your information from your name onward, and don't forget a title. All papers should be in Times New Roman font with 12-point type with one-inch margins all the way around your paper. All paragraph indentations should be indented five spaces (use the tab key) from the left margin. All work is to be left justified. When quoting lines in literature, please research the proper way to cite short stories, plays, or poems.
You should use the online APUS library to look for scholarly sources. Be careful that you don’t create a "cut and paste" paper of information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize.
Whatever topic you choose you will need a debatable thesis. A
thesis
is not a fact, a quote, or a question. It is your position on the topic. The reader already knows the story; you are to offer him a new perspective based on your observations.
Since the reader is familiar with the story, summary is unnecessary. Rather than tell him what happened, tell him what specific portions of the story support your thesis.
Formalist Criticism:
This approach regards literature as “a unique form of human knowledge that needs to be examined on its own terms.” All the elements necessary for understanding the work are contained within the work itself. Of particular interest to the formalist critic are the elements of
form
—style, structure, tone, imagery, etc.—that are found within the text. A primary goal for formalist critic ...

Comparative literature- summary
Comparative literature involves the international study of literature across languages, genres, time periods and national borders. It examines the relationships between literature and other cultural phenomena like history, philosophy and the arts. Comparative literature scholars make comparisons between texts and explore how understanding requires interpreting texts and relating new texts to ones previously encountered through processes like translation and hermeneutics. The study of literature in this way aims to appreciate works beyond national boundaries and integrate literary experience with broader cultural changes and concepts.
Intro to-literary-criticism
Literary criticism involves analyzing and interpreting works of literature. There are several approaches to literary criticism, including formalist, which focuses on elements like structure and symbolism within the text; biographical, which examines the influence of the author's life; and psychological, which applies theories like Freudian concepts to understand characters. Literary theory provides different lenses through which texts can be interpreted.

rope, and not a commercial game like Monopoly or Space Invaers. Use
at least two figures of speech, but make sure they’re not clichés. This
poem must be in blank verse or in a fixed form (sonnet, ballad stanzas,
heroic couplets, terza rima, etc.) (Kevin Bath, EH 200)
Creating a 14-er
Compose a poem in which the lines end with the words below in the order
given. Find possible connections between the words, so that your poem gives a
sensible or logical account of something specific. We haven’t discussed rhythm
(syllable count) or accents (meter) yet, so use any rhythm you want to; but if
you make your lines 10 syllables each, you will have written a Shakespearean
sonnet.
Give your poem a title:
_____________________________________________quiet
_____________________________________________kiss
_____________________________________________riot
_____________________________________________abyss
_____________________________________________trees
_____________________________________________June
_____________________________________________peas
_____________________________________________prune
_____________________________________________cryst.
Archetypal Criticism
An archetype refers to universal symbols, themes, characters and images found across literature that reveal basic human truths. Archetypal criticism seeks to identify these recurring patterns and interpret them as manifestations of universal human experiences. Examples of archetypes include common literary tropes like the hero's journey, conflicts between order and chaos, and stock characters like the innocent youth, bully, or wise old man. Archetypal critics believe these patterns resonate with all people regardless of time or place.

Assignment Instructions
Write a 500-750 word essay on one of the following topics. The word count does not include formatting or the works cited page.
Write a critical analysis of one of the works from weeks 1 or 2. An overview of approaches can be found
here
, but many are quite straightforward. Psychological, gender, sociological, biographical, and historical are all approaches that many use naturally in viewing a work. However, if your interest lies elsewhere, feel free to choose another approach.
Compare and contrast two of the stories from weeks 1 and 2. Be sure that you have isolated a strong and debatable thesis on which to build the essay. Simply pointing out the differences is not analysis. Toward that end, you may want to focus on a specific element of the stories.
If there's an aspect of the stories from these two weeks that particularly interests you, you may choose your own topic, but you must run it by me first to be sure it is headed in an analytical direction.
Your essay should be formatted in
MLA style
, including double spacing throughout. All sources should be properly cited both in the text and on a works cited page. As with most academic writing, this essay should be written in third person. Please avoid both first person (I, we, our, etc.) and second person (you, your).
In the upper left-hand corner of the paper, place your name, the professor’s name, the course name, and the due date for the assignment on consecutive lines. Double space your information from your name onward, and don't forget a title. All papers should be in Times New Roman font with 12-point type with one-inch margins all the way around your paper. All paragraph indentations should be indented five spaces (use the tab key) from the left margin. All work is to be left justified. When quoting lines in literature, please research the proper way to cite short stories, plays, or poems.
You should use the online APUS library to look for scholarly sources. Be careful that you don’t create a "cut and paste" paper of information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize.
Whatever topic you choose you will need a debatable thesis. A
thesis
is not a fact, a quote, or a question. It is your position on the topic. The reader already knows the story; you are to offer him a new perspective based on your observations.
Since the reader is familiar with the story, summary is unnecessary. Rather than tell him what happened, tell him what specific portions of the story support your thesis.
Formalist Criticism:
This approach regards literature as “a unique form of human knowledge that needs to be examined on its own terms.” All the elements necessary for understanding the work are contained within the work itself. Of particular interest to the formalist critic are the elements of
form
—style, structure, tone, imagery, etc.—that are found within the text. A primary goal for formalist critic ...

Comparative literature- summary
Comparative literature involves the international study of literature across languages, genres, time periods and national borders. It examines the relationships between literature and other cultural phenomena like history, philosophy and the arts. Comparative literature scholars make comparisons between texts and explore how understanding requires interpreting texts and relating new texts to ones previously encountered through processes like translation and hermeneutics. The study of literature in this way aims to appreciate works beyond national boundaries and integrate literary experience with broader cultural changes and concepts.
Intro to-literary-criticism
Literary criticism involves analyzing and interpreting works of literature. There are several approaches to literary criticism, including formalist, which focuses on elements like structure and symbolism within the text; biographical, which examines the influence of the author's life; and psychological, which applies theories like Freudian concepts to understand characters. Literary theory provides different lenses through which texts can be interpreted.
