Abstract:
The convergence and integration of literary criticism and literary theory has opened up a new world of literary creation, which has improved literary creation and promoted the development and prosperity of literature and art. With the increasingly strong voice of "theoreticalization of criticism and criticism of theory" in the literary and art circles, it has become a hot topic in academic circles to reveal how theory generates criticism and narrow the distance between literary criticism and literary theory. On the basis of in-depth analysis of Charles E. Bressler's classic academic work — "Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice", this paper cuts in from the perspective of "readers" and uses "text reading" as a bridge. By exploring the multiple identities of readers in reading, the paper gradually dissects the intrinsic relationship and influencing factors between theory and criticism in the process of reading, as well as how theory generates criticism. It is intended to contribute to the construction of literary theory and literary criticism, as well as to provide valuable reference and reference for related research in the academic community.

In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Russian critical discourse on the symbolist critic Bely in the last hundred years and to show the changes in this image, the critic Bely is judged in three stages in terms of the multiple relationships between Bely's literary criticism and his own literary creation, Russian symbolist literature, Russian literature and even Russian literary criticism, and finally to construct a collection of critical Bely's images covering different times, perspectives and fields, in which the image goes through the process of going from invisibility to incipient and then to complete presentation. The Russian criticism of Bely has been controversial in different eras, but his insistence on a combination of tradition and innovation and his active search for originality have made him a highly regarded critic. This review of the changing image of Bely deepens the understanding of Bely and Russian symbolism and is a useful reference for the study of Bely's literary criticism.

Roote, Christonie St Martin. "Comfort factors, moral fantasy and social criticism in formulaic fiction : a study of literary formulas with particular reference to the 'hard-boiled' detective story." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17941.

Full text
Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
The so-called 'hard-boiled' detective story is probably one of the most successful formulaic fictive patterns to be developed this century; and has been translated very effectively into popular film and television drama. Its founding fathers are normally deemed to be Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald. A study of their works should provide a valuable insight into the structure of their patterns and how they are made to work to the public's satisfaction. After all, the one indisputable and verifiable matter in the whole business is that these sort of texts appeal to great numbers of people who read them because they enjoy reading them. Some of the interesting questions thus revolve around the issue of why these fictions are so well liked. However, a study of literary formulas assumes the necessity of demonstrating what those particular formulas are. There are three predominating structures which, to my mind, build this kind of fiction into its finished shape. Firstly, there are the comfort factors which offer the reader a sense of security. Secondly, there is their sense of moral fantasy which allows the reader to escape from the confines of their everyday lives. And thirdly, in the best of these works, there is some element of the new and/or the unconventional, often in the form of social and political criticism encapsulated within the safe formulas of the text. This adds the necessary spice to the life of the construct.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis proposes a theory of literature's human relevance in literary terms, developing hints in the critical practice of twentieth century literary critic F.R. Leavis. It examines how literary texts can be humanly relevant in a manner that depends on their literary merit, and does so in three stages, interrogating: the way literary texts operate; the role literary language plays in thinking; and the interaction of literature and morality. The thesis has two, related, aims: to reconceptualise literature's relation to human living, and to offer a recharacterisation of Leavis's literary criticism, with the investigation of aspects of Leavis's practice forming part of the more fundamental enquiry regarding the nature of literature's human significance. In the first stage, the thesis argues that Leavis's critical practice in his works of the 1930s (his first major decade of critical output) provides fruitful ways for conceptualising the interaction between form and meaning in literature, with important consequences for present-day understandings of how literature functions and how it matters. It focuses on an untheorised (by him or others) achievement in Leavis's criticism, the introduction of the term 'attitude' into literary analysis and judgement, and argues that the term enables a different mode of attention to the question of how literature relates to the human world. The second stage first interrogates the role that language in general plays in understanding, constructing a hypothesis from arguments by philosophers R.G. Collingwood and Charles Taylor, and then turns to literary language, arguing that it enables a mode of relating to experience not otherwise possible, and forms a process of thinking, for reader and writer alike. The final stage focuses on arguments in aesthetics against literature's cognitive value, and in moral philosophy for its empathic and moral value. Building on earlier arguments about the operation of literary language and language's relation to thought, the thesis claims that literary language is humanly meaningful in a way that is both cognitively and morally significant. Throughout, the thesis argues for the inescapable link between well-written literature and the morally resonant, such that good literature forms what Taylor calls 'moral sources'. The crucial query is how literature functions, which will help us better to answer why it is humanly important. This thesis engages with literary criticism, philosophical aesthetics and moral philosophy, as well as offering close readings of literature itself.

Coll-Vinent, Sílvia. "The reception of English fictional and non-fictional prose in Catalonia (1916-38), with particular reference to Edwardian literary culture and associated debates concerning the novel in England, France and Catalonia." Thesis, University of Oxford, 1996. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:e715592b-063c-4a02-9bbb-d89078ec1719.

Full text
Abstract:
The present study opens up the field of Catalan connections with English literature. The importance of Edwardian influences on the general transmission of English authors and works is demonstrated. Original data on the reception of G.K. Chesterton, the Edwardian figure with a most remarkable impact in Catalonia, is brought to light (Chapter 1, Appendix 1), followed by discussion of the presence of H.G. Wells and G.B. Shaw and an account of the reception of Well's early fiction (Chapter 2); their influence sheds new light on the aspiration of an élite to modernise Catalan culture. Catalan translations of English fictional works produced in the period 1918-38 (Chapter 3, Appendix II) are linked to the reception of the roman anglais in the context of the crisis of the roman à thèse, and the meditating influence of French criticism is revealed. The values of romance, adventure, and the common man (from Defoe to Stevenson, from Stevenson to Conrad) constitute the recurrent thread associated with the English tradition and with the Edwardian fictional canon, as these were mediated from France to Catalonia. This panorama of transmission enhances an understanding of Catalan views of the novel, in the light of Edwardian values (Chapter 4), as exemplified in Carles Riba's critical appraisal of two Catalan authors, in the appeal of Joseph Conrad's narrative technique and its influence on J.M. de Sagarra, as well as in the comparison of Frank Swinnerton's Nocturne (a best-seller of 1917) and its Catalan counterpart, M. Teresa Vernet's Les algues roges. This thesis also includes a chronology of the reception of Chesterton and a list of Catalan translations of English works of fiction.

Full text
Abstract:
La présente thèse se propose de répertorier et d’analyser les références au classicisme français et le rôle qu’il a joué dans la critique littéraire roumaine, depuis la Révolution de Tudor Vladimirescu (1821) jusqu’à la chute du régime communiste (1989). Après avoir replacé la réception du modèle dans le cadre de l’histoire de la Roumanie et de ses relations politiques et intellectuelles avec la France (notamment par une étude de la traduction des classiques français en langue roumaine) et après une analyse généalogique et esthétique du concept de « classicisme français », on s’est efforcé de restituer, dans le contexte de chaque grande époque de la modernité roumaine, puis, pour chacune de ces périodes, à travers l’étude plus spécifique de quelques écrivains et critiques choisis comme les plus représentatifs en cette matière, la persistance et le renouvellement de l’image du classicisme français, lui-même fréquemment perçu et analysé comme l’expression nationale d’un classicisme « universel ». Ce cheminement chronologique a permis de dégager les trois usages majeurs que la critique roumaine a faits de la référence à cette notion : celui de modèle pour une création littéraire qui se cherchait, celui de critère pour son évaluation et celui d’enjeu dans le cadre des débats suscités par les courants nouveaux qui auront animé la vie littéraire roumaine depuis son émergence jusqu’à la presque fin du XXe siècle
The present thesis proposes to catalogue and analyze references to French classicism and the role it has played in the Romanian literary criticism, from the Wallachian Uprising of 1821, led by Tudor Vladimirescu, to the fall of the communist regime (1989). After placing the reception of the model in the context of the history of Romania and its political and intellectual relations with France (including a study of the translation of French classics in Romanian) and after a genealogical and aesthetic analysis of the "French classicism" concept, we tried to reconstruct, in the context of each period of Romanian modernity, and, for each of these periods, through the more specific study of certain writers and critics considered the most representative in this matter, the persistence and renewal of the image of French classicism, itself frequently perceived and analyzed as the national expression of a "universal" classicism. This chronological process made it possible to identify the three manners in which the Romanian criticism used the reference to this notion: that of a model for a literary creation that sought itself, that of criterion for its evaluation and that of subject within the framework of debates aroused by the new currents that have animated the Romanian literary life since its emergence until the end of the twentieth century

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThe insistence to the value judgment is both an innate mission of Marxist literary criticism and a necessity for the social and cultural construction of contemporary China and the world. The reconstruction of value judgment is theoretically based on the social ideals of Marx and Engels on full emancipation of human beings, and the value judgment in the Chinese form is designed from three basic dimensions, namely the human, social, and aesthetic dimensions. The human dimension emphasizes that the critics should regard the respect for human life, the maintenance of human dignity, and the pursuit of justice as their bottom line. The relativity and the paradox of literary values are explored respectively from historical and practical perspectives. The construction of a dominant as well as compatible system of value judgment provides a new value judgment reference for contemporary Chinese literary criticism and the global literary world.

Abstract:
This essay identifies in the materialist strand of world literature theory, especially Pascale Casanova and the Warwick Research Collective, a reliance upon a priori structures (the world-system) and prioritisation of the literary registration of inequality. By contrast, I contend, world-literary critics who wish to maintain the dissident spirit of postcolonialism ought to demonstrate a shared equality. By reference to the philosophies of Bruno Latour, Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Rancière, this essay sets out the case for an alternative to world-systems critique: one that maintains literature’s potential for creating new forms of resistance, dissent, and, crucially, equality.

Abstract One of the best-known critical encounters of the 1970s was that between M. H. Abrams, a major figure in historical criticism both as practitioner and theorist, and J. Hillis Miller, a leading exponent of Derridean deconstruction, on the question of the limits of literary interpretation. Abrams claimed that Jacques Derrida ‘puts out of play, before the game even begins, every source of norms, controls, or indications which, in the ordinary use and experience of language, set a limit to what we can mean and what we can be understood to mean’, in favour of ‘a free participation in the infinite free-play of signification opened out by the signs in a text’. He went on to attack Miller for ‘exclud[-ing] by his elected premises any control or limit of signification by reference to the uses of a word or phrase that are current at the time an author writes, or to an author’s intention, or to the verbal or generic context in which a word occurs’.

Abstract:
Abstract The past couple of decades have seen the publication of a vast number of cultural critiques of empire and its aftermath designated with the label ‘postcolonial’. Despite their many disparities of perspective and subject-matter, what the critical texts and studies which make up this body of discourse share, is a single common reference point. They are all broadly concerned with experiences of exclusion, denigration, and resistance under systems of colonial control. Thus the term postcolonialism addresses itself to the historical, political, cultural, and textual ramifications of the colonial encounter between the West and the non-West, dating from the sixteenth century to the present day. It considers how this encounter shaped all those who were party to it: the colonizers as well as the colonized. In particular, studies of postcolonial cultures, texts, and politics are interested in responses to colonial oppression which were (and are) oppositional or contestatory, and not only openly so, but those which were subtle, sly, oblique, and apparently underhand in their protests.

Abstract:
Abstract Chapter 3 remains with the fourth century in offering a reading of Aristotle’s contribution to ancient criticism. What justifies the current study giving this attention to Plato’s close contemporary is the way in which scholars have constructed chronologies of literary history which attribute significance to this author and his work, even, on occasion, to the disregard of Plato. Aristotle fills an important gap between classical Greek discussions of literature and the Hellenistic period. His and Theophrastus’ works apart, no substantial works of criticism exist from Plato until the first century BCE so that we must rely on fragments and testimonia preserved in later authors for the intervening period. Aristotle is a reference point, and precisely a terminus post quem, for the narrative of ‘criticism’, which ancient and modern scholars understand as a discourse about literature. In antiquity, Dio Chrysostom attributed the beginnings of the arts of criticism (kritikē) and of grammar (grammatikē) to the philosopher (Or. 36. 1).

Abstract:
Abstract There are many branches of medieval literary theory and criticism, only one of which has received the attention it deserves, namely the ‘arts’ of composition (artes poeticae, artes praedicandi, artes dictaminis ). This anthology concentrates on another branch, the most fundamental and important of them all within the medieval educational system, and one which has a lot to say about a far wider range of literary matters than those which fall within the terms of reference of the pragmatic and prescriptive ‘arts’. For the texts translated below comprise sophisticated discussions of such topics as fiction and fable (in classical works and in the Bible); the ethical effects and purpose of literature; authorship and authority; the function of biography in interpreting a writer’s work; stylistic and didactic modes; literary form and structure; allegory and ‘literal’ or historical sense; symbolism; imagination and imagery; the semiotics of words and things; the moralization of classical texts; the status of poetry within the hierarchy of the human arts and sciences. Quite obviously, this rich array of literary discussion and analysis falls within the sphere of ‘literary theory and criticism’ as normally understood.

Abstract:
Over the last seventy years, the discipline of English literature has been marked by an unnecessary and largely counterproductive tension between aesthetics and history. For many politically oriented critics, aesthetics was either uninteresting or implicated in the elite practices they deliberately opposed. And for those who focused on aesthetics, history frequently seemed like a distraction from what made the work of art a special kind of utterance, separate from other modes of language. This chapter revisits some of the signal literary engagements in the latter half of the long twentieth century, in order to consider what has been accomplished, what we have left out, and where we may be going next. With reference to writers from Donne and Herbert to John Milton, the chapter suggests, finally, that our analyses have too frequently ignored the decidedly impractical pleasure that emerges from literary activity, and argues that by bringing our own pleasure out of the closet, we can begin to restore to literary criticism some of the visceral thrill that drew us to it in the first place.
