Ayesha notes

“Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the


feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticising.”
— D. H. Lawrence

When reading, the reader typically forms an interpretation of the work. A person's
interpretation of a work is often based on life experience, culture, and influences. Some
readers and critics take these interpretations and write a literary criticism. The
definition of literary criticism is the analysis, comparison, evaluation, and interpretation
of a work of literature. Often engaging in debates with other critics to help prove their
points and make value judgments, literary critics hope to provide a reader with
meaningful connections. While most written literary criticism dates from the twentieth
century, questions about the social value of literature date back to the time of Plato and
Aristotle. In his Poetics, Aristotle stressed the importance of literary art. He was able to
provide universal insights for an audience that critics today have adapted when writing
literary criticism.

Literary Criticism vs. Literary Theory


While some may use these terms synonymously, and although they are related, there is
a difference between literary criticism and literary theory. Literary criticism, the study of
a literary text, can begin with a particular literary theory. Literary theory is the idea
that guides literary criticism. Theory helps to differentiate literary texts from the others;
it works to classify literary texts into categories and schools of thought. One way to
think of literary theory is that it acts as a critical lens, or a way to view a particular
work. A critical lens allows a critic to analyze a text within a specific theory. Using a
critical lens, the critic evaluates the literary text based on assumptions within a specific
literary theory and then develops a literary criticism.

Main Difference – Literary Criticism vs


Literary Theory
Literary criticism and literary theory are two important terms that we
encounter in literary studies. There are varying views on the difference
between literary criticism and literary theory; some scholars use these two
terms to describe the same concept whereas some other scholars consider
literary criticism as the practical application of the literary theories. In this
article, we are considering the latter perspective. Literary criticism is the
study, evaluation and interpretation of literature whereas literary
theory is the different frameworks used to evaluate and interpret a
particular work. This is the main difference between literary criticism and
literary theory.
What is Literary Criticism
Literary criticism is the study, analysis, evaluation and interpretation of
literature. In other words, it judges the value of a work. In literary criticism, a
particular work or a body of work is evaluated according to its aesthetic
value, historical/cultural/social significance of the work, use of language, and
insights and insights of the work. These qualities are often mutually
dependent or inflective.

Literary criticism has a long history and can be traced back to the times of
Pluto.

What is Literary Theory


Literary theory is understanding the nature, and function of literature and
the relation of text to its author, reader, and society. It can be described as
the frame that supports literary criticism. Literary theory consists of a variety
of scholarly approaches to evaluate a study. In simple terms, they can be
described as the different perspectives or angles scholars use to evaluate
literature.

Some of the major schools of literary theory include :

Formalism – focuses on the structural purposes of a text


Reader-Response Criticism – focuses on the response of the reader to a
text
Structuralism – focuses on the universal underlying structures of a text
Gender/Queer Studies – focuses on the portrayal of gender and gender
relations
Post-colonial Studies – focuses on the influence of colonialism on literature
Psychoanalytic Criticism – focuses on the role of consciousness and
unconsciousness in literature
Marxist Criticism – focuses on the political, economic and social in the
literature
