Text
the receivers of the text, as in, the individual or group that reads and responds to the message of the material.
Audience
works that express ideas of permanent or universal interest, in forms of fiction and non-fiction, or prose and poetry. Such text may include non-written forms as well.
Literature
works that are imaginary in terms of characters, settings, events, and other elements. They may or may not be based on factual events and are typically written in prose form
Fiction
works that are presented as historical and factual truths.
Non-fiction
a form of literature that follows the structure of natural speech, with fully formed sentences and paragraphs
Prose
a form of literature where words are arranged artistically, typically with attention to rhyme, rhythm, and symbolism
Poetry
the argumentation and analysis of literary text through different views that focus on the text’s purposes, principles, and perspectives.
Literary Criticism
literature is taken as a form of knowledge that needs to be examined on its own, with all the necessary elements for understanding the text are contained within the text itself.
Formalist Criticism
the work is analyzed through examining the historical events that occurred within the context of writing the text, and how the zeitgeist influenced its themes
Historical Criticism
the work is analyzed with how sexual identity influenced the creation and reception of the text, most notably through a feminist lens.
Gender Criticism
the work is analyzed through understanding the facts of the life of the author, and how they have affected the events and themes of the text.
Biographical Criticism
the text is examined with how societal elements are represented in the work. An influential type of this is Marxist criticism, which focuses on the economic and political impact of the piece, following the idea that all art is political i.e. it can be used to challenge or endorse the status quo.
Sociological Criticism
the work is analyzed with methods influenced in large part by Freud’s psychoanalysis, wherein characters, themes, and even authors, are examined with a focus on the circumstances that influence their motivations and/or behavior
Psychological Criticism
the work is treated to contain no meaning until unless a reader derives meaning from it, with the fundamental idea that literature is a transaction between the text and the mind of the audience. This approach may overlap with the other schools of criticism, considering the varied backgrounds of readers
Reader-Response Criticism
