Extractions: Literary Theory and 'theory itself' John Lye 1998. Prepared for my ENGL 4F70, Contemporary Literary Theory , course. Comments welcome, e-mail me at jlye@brocku.ca Literary criticism is fundamentally the estimation of the value of a particular work or body of work on such grounds as: the personal and/or cultural significance of the themes and the uses of language of a text; the insights and impact of a text; and the aesthetic production (or, performance) of the text; particularly as these areas are seen to be mutually dependent, supportive or inflective. The word 'criticism' has ordinary-use negative connotations, and to an extent that is right: for literary criticism is part of the disciplining of discourse generally and of what is considered literature in particular. One patrols the boundaries of good writing, admitting or excluding, determining what should be thought about a text, and why, what personal and cultural value should be placed on it. Judgments of value are not simple, however. They require that one consider what constitutes value, what the personal and social value of literature is, what the value of 'the aesthetic' is. And they require that one interpret the text. As texts judged to be of high literary value tend to be marked by complexity and even ambiguity, and to yield diverse interpretations, judgment may ultimately require a theory of interpretation, or at least careful attention to the question of what constitutes, guides, and legitimates interpretation.

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.

Extractions: Michael Pickering The most intolerable thing for those who regard themselves as the possessors of legitimate culture is the sacrilegious reuniting of tastes which taste dictates shall be separate. (Bourdieu, 1986: 56-57) There are very few absolute contrasts left between a `minority culture' and `mass communications' (Williams, 1983: 134). It was in the spirit of this way of thinking that I offered the overview of cultural studies published in the last issue of Sites, and it is in the same spirit that I now advance this further discussion of the relationship between cultural studies and the academic formation of English. If one ignored the recent titles referred to above, and looked at the situation twenty years ago, then the examples would not be so easy to find. This is to point up how much has changed in that time, for although there was certainly work worth attending to in the early seventies, anyone embarking on the cultural analysis of popular texts and popular culture at that time soon discovered, as they tried to develop a contextually sensitive and theoretically informed approach, the relatively limited company in which they were situated. Today it is difficult keeping up with all the critical work on popular forms that is being published. This is a welcome change, but the issue at stake is that `English', which should have been central to these new avenues of exploration and examination, has played a relatively minor part, and it would be disingenuous to explain this as having resulted solely from the distractions of a risorgimento in literary theory.

Mount Mary College 2900 North Menomonee River Parkway Milwaukee, WI 53222 (414) 258-4810, ext. 461 siegelkr@mtmary.edu Introduction to Modern Literary Theory Literary Trends and Influences* : When theories are explained briefly, a necessary reduction in their complexity and richness occurs. The information below is meant merely as a guide or introduction to modern literary theories and trends. New Additions: Page updated January 19, 2003. New Criticism A literary movement that started in the late 1920s and 1930s and originated in reaction to traditional criticism that new critics saw as largely concerned with matters extraneous to the text, e.g., with the biography or psychology of the author or the work's relationship to literary history. New Criticism proposed that a work of literary art should be regarded as autonomous, and so should not be judged by reference to considerations beyond itself. A poem consists less of a series of referential and verifiable statements about the 'real' world beyond it, than of the presentation and sophisticated organization of a set of complex experiences in a verbal form (Hawkes, pp. 150-151).

Extractions: Coolness and shade." R alph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was the leading figure in American transcendentalism. As a philosopher, essayist and poet, he set the intellectual tone of New England letters in his own time, and of American literature since. He is the original expression of American pragmatism. His friends included Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and Thomas Carlyle. He knew Nathaniel Hawthorne and Walt Whitman. His influence is evident in the tradition of American pragmatism in thinkers such as William James and John Dewey. Friederich Nietzsche carried a well-marked copy of Emerson's Essays with him for years. He was perhaps most widely known in his own day from the hundreds of public lectures he gave on the traveling speaker's circuit. This site contains information about Emerson, and begins to catalogue criticism of his work. His
