Formalism Literary Criticism
Formalism Literary Criticism is a critical approach to analyzing literature that focuses on the structural elements of a text, such as form, style, language, and technique. This form of criticism emphasizes close reading and interpretation of the text itself, rather than considering external factors such as authorial intent or historical context. Formalist critics often pay attention to the way in which a text is constructed, looking at elements such as imagery, symbolism, narrative structure, and poetic devices to uncover deeper meanings and insights. This approach seeks to understand how a text's form and style contribute to its overall meaning and impact on the reader.
