Description
Criticism by Catherine Belsey offers a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental human intellectual activities. At its core, criticism is about making our own judgements and interpretations when engaging with artefacts such as literature, art, or music. This book delves into the central concepts and controversies in criticism, tracing the development of ideas from Plato to Derrida, and from Romanticism to the death of the author. Along the way, it reflects on the possibilities and options that confront casual readers, reviewers, and those involved in reading groups, teaching English, or simply making conscious choices about what we read. By examining criticism itself, Belsey invites us to consider how far we make intentional decisions about our reading habits, what conventions we follow when engaging with fiction, and what might be explored if we were to look beyond these familiar patterns.
