In this course,I have learned basic concept of literature and
literary theory and characteristics and the definition of theory.
Some main points of the definitions and characteristics of 5
important literary theories--
1. Formalism involves a close reading of the text.All
information essential to the interpretation of a work must be found within the
work itself.
2. Structuralism was concerned with identifying the units of
conscious experience. Based on Wundt’s beginnings this focuses on the structure
of the mind and how it works.
3. Deconstructive criticism inspire the reader to re-examine
and it helps to creat a new meaning of the text.
4. Liberal Humanism consider the significance of literature
as timeless and Study the text in isolation.
5. Ecocriticism is the study of the relationships between
culture and the more than human world. It takes an Earth centered, ecological
approach to cultural studies.
