Theory Reviews and Criticism Literature
Literary theory attempts to establish principles for interpreting and evaluating literary texts. Key issues include: authoral intention, interpretive objectivity, as well as structure, and historical, social, religious, political, and philosophic issues. These issues have given rise to a variety of sub-theories, "schools", or approaches. Here are found sites about theorists and their works,including texts, as well as discussion of approaches they are/were associated with.
