THE SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT IN LITERARY THEORY AND CRITICISM
Literary theory and criticism encompass various schools of thought that provide frameworks and perspectives for analyzing and interpreting literature. These schools offer specific vocabularies, concepts, and methods that help readers understand texts from different angles.
Each school emphasizes particular aspects of literature—such as form, structure, language, social context, or reader experience—leading to diverse and enriched interpretations.
A school of thought refers to a shared perspective or intellectual tradition within a specific field (e.g., philosophy, psychology, economics). Members of a school of thought hold similar ideas, principles, and theories.
