period in which the text takes place and is written, historical critics translate new meaning from the text
based on its roots, the social events, and the historical elements of the time period that impacted the
author’s writing.

-New Criticism-analyses text based solely on the text itself. Ignoring historical, biographical, cultural, and
additional outside contexts, new criticism focuses on internal contexts. A few of the devices studied by
new critics are language patterns, plot, content, diction, setting, structure, style, theme, and literary
devices.

intentions, the reader’s responses, and the psychological state of the characters in the piece.

and analyzes the reception of the text through the various lenses of its readers. Each reader response
analysis varies based on the experiences and background of the reader and how they perceive the text.
