Analytical Secondary Sources
These articles apply specific literary theories or critical approaches to the analysis and interpretation of particular literary texts (poems, novels, plays, etc.) or groups of texts.
They involve close reading of texts, identification of literary devices and patterns, and the use of theoretical concepts as lenses through which to examine the text's meanings, themes, structures, and cultural significance.
The purpose is to illuminate the complexities of literary works, demonstrate the practical application of literary theories, generate new interpretations, and contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between theory and literary practice.
