Special Issue on

Literary Criticism and Analysis

Literary Criticism and Analysis encompasses the systematic interpretation, evaluation, and exploration of literary works through diverse theoretical, historical, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives. It covers research on literary theory, textual analysis, comparative literature, genre studies, narrative techniques, poetry, drama, fiction, and the relationship between literature and society. The field also welcomes interdisciplinary approaches that integrate philosophy, history, linguistics, gender studies, postcolonial studies, media studies, and digital humanities to investigate the production, reception, and significance of literary texts. By combining critical methodologies with close reading and contextual analysis, it seeks to advance literary scholarship and deepen the understanding of cultural expression, artistic creativity, and the evolving role of literature in a global context.
