About

What I got out of it was it talked about what new criticism was a

literary style of the early 20th century utilized by a lot of poets that underwent a lot of criticism because of all the different structural forms and the fact that it was difficult to comprehend people came up with a lot of different interpretations when reading

The article goes through different forms Of new critic literature

and a lot of opposing views or criticisms to the new critic literature style

My opinion

I like Blackmur's response that a piece of literature should stand alone and be

able to explain itself. Unfortunately that gives new critics a platform to say anything almost anyway it seemed and have nothing to compare or substantiate it with.

There was a lot of suppositions in in New Critics literature, in my opinion it

was one person's eccentric view point after the next, hidden in a literary style that denied any accountability to conservative literary thought.

I do not agree with some new critic philosophies that poetry should replace

religion or science.
