Literary Criticism
Literary Criticism is an analytical and interpretive engagement with literature, examining its formal elements, thematic content, historical context, and sociocultural implications. This encompasses the study of various literary forms, including novels, poetry, drama, and non-fiction works such as health books and health nutrition books. Literary criticism evaluates the aesthetic qualities and cultural significance of literature, fostering a deeper understanding of texts and their impact on readers and society. By applying critical theories and methodologies, literary critics dissect the language, structure, and meaning of literary works, revealing their underlying themes, values, and ideologies. In this sense, literary criticism serves as a bridge between the text and the reader, facilitating meaningful dialogue and fostering intellectual growth.
