Literary criticism analyses or interprets works of literature. It is written by scholars who have devoted their professional lives to the study of literature. These people typically publish their criticism in the form of essays in books or articles in scholarly journals. Literary criticism from credible and authoritative sources can be difficult to find through websites.
