		Modern literary criticism is often informed by literary theory, which is the philosophical discussion of its methods and goals.
		The literary criticism of the Renaissance developed classical ideas of unity of form and content into a literary neoclassicism which proclaimed literature to be central to culture and entrusted the poet or author with the preservation of a long literary tradition.
		The British Romantic movement of the early nineteenth century brought new aesthetic ideas to the study of literature, including the idea that the object of literature did not always have to be beautiful, noble, or perfect, but that literature itself could elevate a common subject to the level of the sublime.

	Introduction to Literary Interpretation
		The interpreter is expected to hold a greater level of knowledge of the subject he or she is interpreting.
		Literary interpretation essentially begins the moment an author publishes a book, for at that moment there is a need for someone to bridge the gap between the imaging audience created by the author, and the imagined voice of the author created by the audience.
		Literary interpretation is the activity of bringing forth the meaning of a text.

	Queer literary interpretation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Queer literary interpretation is a method of literary interpretation stemming from Marxism, Feminism, and the gay rights movement.
		It is an addition to literary theory in the 1980s.
		Only partially based on gay, lesbian and bisexual issues, a queer literary interpretation is largely concerned with sexual identity, especially "closeted" (hidden) sexual identity.

	Literary theory
		One of the fundamental questions of literary theory is "What is literature?", though many contemporary theorists and literary scholars believe either that the term "literature" is undefinable or that it can potentially refer to any use of language.
		In the academic world of England and America, literary theory was at its most popular from the late 1960s (when its influence was beginning to spread outward from elite universities like Johns Hopkins and Yale) through the 1980s (by which time it was taught nearly everywhere in some form).
		Since then, and as of 2004, the controversy over the use of theory in literary studies has all but died out, and discussions on the topic within literary and cultural studies tend now to be considerably milder and less acrimonious.

	Literary Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		It is literary theory that formulates the relationship between author and work; literary theory develops the significance of race, class, and gender for literary study, both from the standpoint of the biography of the author and an analysis of their thematic presence within texts.
		Literary theorists trace the history and evolution of the different genres—narrative, dramatic, lyric—in addition to the more recent emergence of the novel and the short story, while also investigating the importance of formal elements of literary structure.
		Literary theory and the formal practice of literary interpretation runs a parallel but less well known course with the history of philosophy and is evident in the historical record at least as far back as Plato.

	"The Hermeneutics of Biblical Lyric Poetry" by Daniel J. Estes
		When biblical interpretation is dominated by historical and theological concerns, the world in the Bible tends to be passed by too quickly in order to relate it to one of the other two worlds.
		Although in modern times literary criticism of the Bible has not received the same level of scholarly attention given to historical and theological issues, there is a long history of literary interpretation of biblical texts.
		This article (a) investigates how lyric poetry is treated in the disciplines of literary criticism and pedagogy, (b) isolates the salient distinctives of lyric poetry, particularly in its language and form, and (c) suggests guidelines for interpreting biblical lyric poetry informed by the insights of literary criticism.

	Tutkijakoulu: Tapahtumat: Cognition and Literary Interpretation in Practice: Abstracts
		Cultural differences in interpreting literary texts have to be incorporated into cognitive analyses if the cognitive paradigm is to be shown as more than an approach that borrows "deep" concepts like scripts and schemas from cognitive psychology.
		Literary estrangement means breaking the reader's horizon of expectations and obstructing the reading, but it also means pointing to a new frame of reference and alternative ways of seeing and understanding the text.
		Recent cognitive approaches aim at explaining the process of literary interpretation according to the same schemas and frames that are considered to categorize general human perceptions and interpretations of the actual world.

		The interpreter does not have to resolve a riddle, to disclose a mysterious kernel hidden behind the symbolic representations of literary work to be found in traumatic events from the author's past.
		On the contrary, this kind of interpreter has to concentrate on the very symbolic structure and composition of literary work to demonstrate how its "riddle" is already there, in the way it transforms and reinterprets the archetypal motives to be found in mythologies of the past.
		This concept of the literary work implies that everything that could be called its "unconscious" as it is experienced by its addressee, both on the level of its content (signifieds) and in its signifying structure (its configuration of signifiers), is already by its essence not to be brought to consciousness.

	Cognition and Literary Interpretation in Practice
		In literary studies, the interest in cognitive aspects has spurred research on topics ranging from metaphor to narration and to the experience of reading, thus opening up new areas of inquiry, such as mental mapping, blending and embodiment.
		Yet it is not clear what cognitive studies have to offer to the practice of literary interpretation, and this is the focus of the conference.
		In theory at least, cognitive studies provide means for describing structural aspects in literary interpretation, but they have been criticized for neglecting historical, institutional and ideological aspects.

	Hancher, "Grice's 'Implicature'" (1978)
		These remarks are preliminary to the forum, "Grice's 'Implicature' and Literary Interpretation," which will be held at the Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Midwest Modern Language Association, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 2-4 November 1978, in cooperation with the Minnesota Center for Advanced Studies in Language, Style, and Literary Theory.
		Two aspects of Grice's work are particularly relevant to literary interpretation: his theory of nonnatural meaning, and his theory of conversational implicature.
		In a series of influential and controversial papers (Grice 1957, 1968, 1969), Grice has argued that the meaning of a word (or nonnatural sign) in general is a derivative function of what speakers mean by that word in individual instances of uttering it.

	PARTIAL ART - TOTAL INTERPRETATION
		If interpretation consists in forcing the hidden meaning from a text, then it is only logical to construe the process as resulting in a loss for the author.
		The interpretative norm that sought for the hidden meaning pinned the work down by means of the prevailing systems of the time, whose validity seemed to be embodied in the work concerned.
		This marks a turning-point in literary interpretation to the extent that it rejects the vital elements of the classical norm, namely, that the work is an object containing the hidden meaning of a prevailing truth.

		Literary theory is the theory (or the philosophy) of the interpretation of literature and literary criticism.
		(In much academic discussion, the terms "literary theory" and "Continental philosophy" are nearly synonymous, though some scholars would argue that a clear distinction can be drawn between the two.)
		Some scholars, both theoretical and anti-theoretical, refer to the 1970s and 1980s debates on the academic merits of theory as "the theory wars."

		Thus, the term “literary” is used to indicate that our interpretation of the words and sentences in the Bible must be according to their literal and grammatical sense with proper place given to figurative elements in the text.
		As you attempt to interpret a figure of speech which you find in the Bible, remember that the two primary determinants of the meaning of the figure are (1) the literal interpretation of the figure, and (2) the immediate context surrounding the figure.
		For example, one might arbitrarily interpret “heaven” to mean the mind, “sea” to mean the present age, or the “four rivers” of Genesis 2:10 to mean the four virtues of prudence, temperance, courage, and justice.
