NEW CRITICISM
Analyse this!   Baa, baa,black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes Sir, Yes Sir  Three bags full. One for the master, One for the dame, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane.
New Criticism Method of literary analysis, primarily for poems “ Text and Text Alone”  Approach Text contains all necessary information for interpreting meaning Text's meaning must be analysed independent of  author’s   beliefs, attitudes, values, emotions ;  reader’s emotional   response  is unimportant Poem = Object Evaluation follows scientific inquiry Structured/Formulaic method of analysis Organic Unity Heresy of Paraphrase
Applying New Criticism A poem should be palpable and mute  As a globed fruit,  Dumb  As old medallions to the thumb,  Silent as the sleeve-worn stone  Of casement ledges where the moss has grown—  A poem should be wordless  As the flight of birds.  A poem should be motionless in time  As the moon climbs,   Leaving, as the moon releases  Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,  Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,  Memory by memory the mind—  A poem should be motionless in time  As the moon climbs.  A poem should be equal to:  Not true.  For all the history of grief  An empty doorway and a maple leaf.  For love  The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea—  A poem should not mean  But be.  Ars Poetica Archibald MacLeish
Applying New Criticism The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna  Are not very pure or true. With my gypsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew.    I have always been sacred of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You----    Not God but a swastika So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you.    Excerpt from  Daddy     Sylvia Plath
Limitations Focuses solely on the text itself and isolates it from all extrinsic factors such as the historical and social context, as well as the poet's background and biography.     Ill-adapted method to certain types of writing
Limitations Believes in only one "correct" reading, it also ignores the ambiguity of language and the active nature of the perception of meaning    Very rigid and structured   Perceived as elitist, because it excludes those readers who lack the background for arriving at the "correct" interpretation.

Ars Poetica Archibald MacLeish
  • 5. Applying New Criticism The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gypsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew.    I have always been sacred of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You----   Not God but a swastika So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you.   Excerpt from Daddy     Sylvia Plath
  • 6. Limitations Focuses solely on the text itself and isolates it from all extrinsic factors such as the historical and social context, as well as the poet's background and biography.     Ill-adapted method to certain types of writing
  • 7. Limitations Believes in only one "correct" reading, it also ignores the ambiguity of language and the active nature of the perception of meaning   Very rigid and structured   Perceived as elitist, because it excludes those readers who lack the background for arriving at the "correct" interpretation.

Editor's Notes

  • #4: o       Poem has ontological status – it possesses its own being and exists like any other object o Objective theory of art – meaning of a poem must not be equated with author’s feelings; stated/implied intentions o Against Intentional Fallacy – believing that a poem’s meaning is nothing more than an expression of private experiences/author’s intentions o Against Affective Fallacy – a reader’s emotional response to text is not equivalent or important to its interpretation o Organic unity – all parts of a poem are interrelated and interconnected Against Heresy of Paraphrase – Poem’s interpretation is equal to a mere paraphrased version of the text
