Literature is a multifaceted and richly layered domain of human expression that encompasses a diverse range of texts, genres, and traditions. To fully appreciate and understand the complexities of literature, scholars and critics employ various critical perspectives, or theoretical frameworks, to analyze and interpret literary works. These critical perspectives offer different lenses through which to view and engage with literature, shedding light on different aspects of texts and their cultural significance. Whether through formalist analysis, psychoanalytic interpretation, Marxist critique, feminist perspective, postcolonial examination, or New Historicist contextualization, critical perspectives enrich our understanding of literature and its role in shaping the world around us.In this book, we will explore some of the key critical perspectives used in literary studies and examine how they enhance our understanding of literature.
