Writing 191 – Literary Criticism October 7th, 2018 by Oren Ashkenazi, Wes Matlock and Chris Winkle In the beginning, a human told a story, and another human said it was not good. Thus was born the tradition of literary criticism, which is what we’re talking about today. We’ll discuss the different schools of criticism, whether reviews are a type of criticism, and what criticism is even for. We’ll also dis on Aristotle a little, which means it’ll be a great episode for sure.

When I went to high school science fiction and fantasy were not considered good enough for analysis or critique. They were lumped in there with Sweet Valley High romances and the like. Reply to Julia Oren Ashkenazi October 9, 2018 at 8:43 am Glad you’re enjoying it, Julia! We’ve been having a great time deconstructing some of the weird divisions in fiction.
