 WHAT IS LITERARY
CRITICISM?
“LITERARY CRITICISM IS THE STUDY.
ANALYSIS. AND EVALUATION OF IMAGINATIVE
LITERATURE. EVERYONE WHO EXPRESSES AN
OPINION ABOUT A BOOK, A SONG, A PLAY, OR A
MOVIE IS A CRITIC, BUT NOT EVERYONE’S
OPINION IS BASED UPON THOUGHT, REFLECTION,
ANALYSIS, OR CONSISTENTLY ARTICULATED
PRINCIPLES.”

Marxism and his deep abiding

sources.
