The New Critics felt that this approach tended to distract from the text and meaning of a poem and entirely neglect its aesthetic qualities in favor of teaching about external factors. On the other hand, the New Critics disparaged the literary appreciation school, which limited itself to pointing out the \"beauties\" and morally elevating qualities of the text, as too subjective and emotional. Condemning this as a version of Romanticism, they aimed for a newer, systematic and objective method.\u003csup id=\"cite_ref-2\" class=\"reference\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Criticism#cite_note-2\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was felt, especially by creative writers and by literary critics outside the academy, that the special aesthetic experience of poetry and literary language was lost in the welter of extraneous erudition and emotional effusions. Heather Dubrow notes that the prevailing focus of literary scholarship was on \"the study of ethical values and philosophical issues through literature, the tracing of literary history, and ... political criticism\". Literature was approached via its moral, historical and social background and literary scholarship did not focus on analysis of texts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indian Hobby Center","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41410217902123,"sku":"","price":556.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6796\/1387\/files\/THENEWCRITICISM_1.jpg?v=1743493159","url":"https:\/\/www.indianhobbycenter.com\/products\/the-new-criticism-by-munir-hardcover-old-book","provider":"Indian Hobby Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
