	Psychoanalytic literary criticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychoanalytic literary criticism is literary criticism which, in method, concept, theory or form, is influenced by the tradition of psychoanalysis begun by Sigmund Freud.
		Psychoanalytic reading has been practiced since the early development of psychoanalysis itself, and has developed into a rich and heterogeneous interpretive tradition.
		The object of psychoanalytic literary criticism, at its very simplest, can be the psychoanalysis of the author or of a particularly interesting character.

		Literary theory begins with classical Greek poetics and rhetoric and includes, since the 18th century, aesthetics and hermeneutics.
		There are many popular schools of literary theory, which take different approaches to understanding texts (which can also mean non-fiction, film, and practically anything else that can be 'read' or interpreted).
		The practice of literary theory became a profession in the 20th century, but it has historical roots that run as far back as ancient Greece (Longinus' On the Sublime is an often cited early example as is Aristotle's Poetics).

	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.

	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.

	Norman N. Holland, The Mind and the Book
		It seems to me that the direction psychoanalytic theory, including its theory of literature, needs to take in the twenty-first century is to integrate psychoanalytic insights with the new discoveries coming from brain research and cognitive science.
		Literary criticism, any kind of criticism, rests on the purpose of literature itself, for, after all, criticism is, as the old saying has it, only the handmaiden to the muse.
		I believe that the psychoanalytic literary critic's primary job is to foreground that psychological element in what he or she says about books.
