New Criticism is a foundational text in 20th-century literary theory. Emphasizing close reading and textual analysis, New Criticism prioritizes the text itself, divorced from authorial intention or historical context. This collection of essays promotes a formalist approach, encouraging readers to find meaning within the structure and language of the work itself. Its principles shaped literary study for decades and continue to influence critical practice today. A vital resource for students and scholars of literature, New Criticism remains relevant for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of how we interpret texts.
