Special Issue on Literary Review and Critical Analysis

Literary Review and Critical Analysis centers on the systematic examination, interpretation, and evaluation of literary texts across historical periods, genres, and cultural contexts. This special issue invites scholarly contributions that employ established and emerging critical theories to analyze themes, narrative structures, language, and ideological frameworks in literature. Emphasis is placed on comparative perspectives, interdisciplinary methodologies, and innovative analytical approaches that advance literary scholarship, reassess canonical works, and illuminate underexplored texts, authors, and traditions within global literary studies.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Literary Review and Critical Analysis. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Canon formation and revisionist literary studies
