New Criticism
aka Formalism
Values technique/structure/rhyme and meter (in poetry)/etc
Stays inside the text
Deconstruction
No absolute meaning in a text
No such thinkg as "outside the text" (differs from New Criticism thus)
Counters the idea of unity.
No "well wrought Urn" of the New Critics
STC
Frye pg 350, No aesthetic principles of self containment may work
Feminism
Reductive:
only looks at how women are treated or portrayed in the text, also how many women there are, and if the text is written by a man or woman. If the work doesn't meet such a critic's standards then it is denounced by said critic.
Expansive:
Bell Hooks; asks what kind of literary work is this? Contextualizes feminism
Reader Response
"spectacles" to see each work differently
Personal interpretation matters
Psychoanalysis
Freud
Ego, Id, Superego
Creation of Modern Age
Marxism
Social heirarchy
Social class
Class struggle
