In an English literature class, my professor mentioned the term New Criticism to explain why he gave limited background information before he analyzed the poems.
From then on, I have began to wonder what the extent is to apply the approach of New Criticism in literature teaching; whether it would be beneficial to the literature learners; whether we could appreciate classic literature works from a new angle by applying this method; if we are limited in the work itself, whether it is possible to study the work in a translated version using the method of New Criticism; whether the New Criticism approach in literature teaching may enhance the culture exchange to the extent of the world or decrease it; whether it is possible for people to apply the method when they make comparison between literature works of different nations…
Lots of these random questions haunted in my mind, which urges me to find a way to think it in a more logical way and do some research on it.
Any suggestion or ideas are welcome
