Literary studies are supplemented by critiques that offer unique perspectives on diverse and complex concerns influencing every epoch. While literary theory provides an expansive philosophical background to comprehend literature, literary criticism presents innovative ways to understand, analyse, interpret, and evaluate literature. This tome elucidates critical essays that are phenomenal and characteristic of the age in which they are written and expounds a comprehensive compendium on feminisms. It tries to express the mood of the age, expose the critical stance of a critic, and convey the views of a particular movement in literature. It tries to inform the reader about the connection of literary criticism with the observations made by the critic and opens up the critical stance taken by the critic for readers’ judgement.The book elaborates the relation between the text and culture by exploring how they influence each other. Each chapter studies literary criticism which refers to critical methods that are used for interpreting texts by developing and substantiating arguments within the purview of a literary theory. To facilitate the reader, the explanation is made lucid and distinct. The book is a handy resource for academicians and learners.
