New Criticism By: Allison Barfield, Lindsey Gaston, Michael Lennen, and Alex Waters

Literary Criticism Literary Criticism is the study, evaluation, and interpretation of literature and is informed by theory.

Literary Theory Literary Theory is the systematic study of the nature of literature and the methods for analyzing literature.

What is New Criticism? ● Started in the middle of the 20th century ● Emphasizes close reading ● Particularly for poetry/ short stories ● Used to discover how a piece of literature functions as an aesthetic object ● Looks at the literal words written ● Does not look at the author or biographical issues

Scholars Involved ● John Crowe Ransom- author, educator, and literary critic seen as the founder of new criticism from his 1941 book The New Criticism ● Ivor Armstrong (I.A.) Richards- considered father of new criticism due to his first two books of critical theory: The Principles of Literary Criticism and Practical Criticism

A picture of John Crowe Ransom’s book, The New Criticism

Scholars Involved (cont.) ● T.S. Eliot- Poet who made significant contributions to the field of literary criticism through his works by giving a cue to new criticsliterary criticism ● Allen Tate- The subject of Tate's own interpretive essay "Narcissus as Narcissus" (1938), itself is a model of the New Criticism.

Scholars Involved (cont.) ● Cleanth Brooks- A central figure of New Criticism that advocates close reading because, as he states in The Well Wrought Urn, "by making the closest examination of what the poem says as a poem" (Leitch 2001), a critic can effectively interpret the text ● William Empson- impacted new criticism through his work Seven Types of Ambiguity
