Literary criticism is the study, analysis, and evaluation of imaginative

literature.
1. Historical criticism seeks to interpret the work of literature through
understanding the time and culture in which the work was written. The
historical critic is more interested in the meaning that the literary work
had for its own time than in the meaning the work might have today.
2. Biographical criticism investigates the life of an author using primary
texts, such as letters, diaries, and other documents, that might reveal
the experiences, thoughts, and feelings that led to the creation of a
literary work.

3. Formalistic criticism examines plot, characterization,

dialogue, point of view, setting, and style to show how
these elements contribute to the theme or unity of the
literary work. The meaning and value of a literary work
resides in the text itself, independent of the author's intent.
This approach stresses the close reading of the text and
insists that all statements about the work be supported by
references to the text.

4. Philosophical (or moral) criticism evaluates the ethical

content of literary works. However, these critics evaluate
the work in its totality, not passages taken out of context.
Philosophical critics acknowledge that literature can have
positive effects on people by increasing their compassion
and moral sensitivity, but it can have negative effects on
people, too. If humans are rational, they will listen to
reason when it is spoken; and they will reject evil and
embrace good.

5. Psychological criticism examines the work in terms

of the motivations of the characters and the writers
who create them. The psychological approach
analyzes the symbolic fictions that arise from the
inner thoughts and subconscious of the characters or
the writers and attempts to explain them in a rational
manner.

6. Sociological criticism focuses on the relationship

between literature and society, the social function of
literature. Literature is always produced in a social
context. Writers may affirm or criticize the values
of the society in which they live, but they write for
an audience and that audience is society.

7. Archetypal criticism examines recurring patterns

that represent universal situations and experiences.
The archetypal critic assumes that human beings all

symbols to express these experiences.
