    Extractions: In this section on the responses of Literary Theory and Criticism, we will explore some of the significant discussions that have taken place since 1970 on the topic of literary representation and interpretation of Holocaust literature. One of the earliest contributions to this topic was Lawrence L. Langer's The Holocaust and the Literary Imagination (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1979), a book that dealt with the major genres of Holocaust literature and many of the intepretive questions that inevitably arise when dealing with this body of literature. Of particular importance is Langer's treatment of the various responses inherent within literary modernity. The fundamental question that arises is: is the function of literature to "represent" the Holocaust? If so, how can literature represent "extreme" events, catastrophic events such as the Nazi Genocide of the Jews? Regarding the reception of literature, the question is posed as to whether the "aesthetic" response of the reader is even legitimate at all given the atrocity of Auschwitz. This question, and all that it entails, was raised in a most provocative manner by the German philosopher Theodor W. Adorno

    Extractions: 1993 HYPERTEXT DATABASE: NEW CRITICISM These materials were created by students back in 1993 as part of an early experiment with hypertext. They were designed to serve as a kind of online reference tool, an electronic database, that would provide information to students who weren't taking English 60A. The authors of these materials were Chris Abele, Liz Cronmiller, Allison DeZurik, Josh Hudson, Diana Marinos, Matt Ogborn, and Tamara Pellicier. If they ever visit this site, I hope they'll drop me a line. Table of Contents Introduction New Criticism is an approach to literature which was developed by a group of American critics, most of whom taught at southern universities during the years following the first World War. The New Critics wanted to avoid impressionistic criticism , which risked being shallow and arbitrary, and social/ historical approaches which might easily be subsumed by other disciplines. Thus, they attempted to systematize the study of literature, to develop an approach which was centered on the rigorous study of the text itself. They were given their name by John Crowe Ransom, who describes the new American formalists in The New Criticism New Critical formalism New Criticism is distinctly formalist in character . It stresses close attention to the internal characteristics of the text itself, and it discourages the use of external evidence to explain the work. The method of New Criticism is foremost a close reading, concentrating on such formal aspects as rhythm, meter, theme, imagery, metaphor, etc. The interpretation of a text shows that these aspects serve to support the structure of meaning within the text.

This is, or can be, a worthwhile enterprise, but it does not sound like one which needs or would benefit from a vast and obscure body of theory, nor one whose successful practioners are likely to be able theorists. What, then, accounts for the current deluge of theory of criticism, as opposed to criticism proper (and as opposed to critical theory , a different beast altogether)? I have no idea, but I feel licensed by the subject matter to speculate as to the causes. Disaffection. Vicious cycle. Suppose that, for whatever reason, theory of criticism came to be prized more highly than criticism itself. Then it would be to the benefit of fledgling literary scholars to turn to theory, and to continue to place a high value upon it. (This last is important, since the study of literature, at least in the West, is close to self-governing.) Natural selection can take it from there, though that is not a guarantee that the result will be sustainable. Obvious query: why should theory be more valued than criticism? Second obvious query: what are the coefficients of selection?

    Extractions: Literary theory is the theory (or the philosophy ) of the interpretation of literature and literary criticism . Its history begins with classical Greek poetics and rhetoric and includes, since the 18th century, aesthetics and hermeneutics . In the 20th century, "theory" has become an umbrella term for a variety of scholarly approaches to reading texts, most of which are informed by various strands of Continental philosophy . (In much academic discussion, the terms "literary theory" and "Continental philosophy" are nearly synonymous, though some scholars would argue that a clear distinction can be drawn between the two.) One of the fundamental questions of literary theory is "What is literature?", though many contemporary theorists and literary scholars believe either that the term "literature" is undefinable or that it can potentially refer to any use of language . Specific theories are distinguished not only by their methods and conclusions, but even by how they define a "text." For some scholars of literature, "texts" means "books belonging to the literary canon " (see literature ). But the principles and methods of literary theory have been applied to non-fiction, popular fiction, film, historical documents, law, advertising, etc., in the related field of

    Extractions: Literary criticism is the study, discussion, evaluation, and interpretation of literature . Modern literary criticism is often informed by literary theory , which is the philosophical discussion of its methods and goals. Though the two activities are closely related, literary critics are not always, and have not always been, theorists. Modern literary criticism is often published in essay or book form. Academic literary critics teach in literature departments and publish in academic journals , and more popular critics publish their criticism in broadly circulating periodicals such as the New York Times Book Review , the New York Review of Books , the London Review of Books The Nation , and The New Yorker Table of contents 1 History of literary criticism 1.1 Classical and medieval criticism 1.3 19th-century criticism ... edit edit Literary criticism has probably existed for as long as literature. Aristotle wrote the Poetics , a typology and description of literary forms with many specific criticisms of contemporary works, in the 4th century BC Poetics developed for the first time the concepts of mimesis and catharsis , which are still crucial in literary study.
