An Introduction to Poetics of Criticism

The present paper intends to study a series of criticism types, using anatomy of criticism approach influenced by Aristotelian poetics, and emphatically Northrop Frye’s Anatomy of Criticism. Unlike Frye, this paper does not intend to offer a new schema of criticisms, but to put on display existing 19th to 21st century criticisms in a rather macro-scale, panoramic level. The emphasis will revolve around two main axes: paradigms and approaches. It starts with introducing super-approaches to criticism and their formation, and moves on to approaches and sub-approaches of criticism</span></div>
