The Historical-Biographical and The Moral-Philosophical
The Historical-biographical
This approach has been evolving over several centuries. Its basic tenets are articulated clearly in the writings of the 19th-century French critic H.A. Taine. Taines’s phrase race, milieu, et moment summarizes the spirit of the traditional approach. This approach sees the work simply as a reflection of the author’s life and times or the life and times of the characters in the work.
Moral- Philosophical.
This approach is as old as classical Greek and Roman critics. Plato, for example, emphasized moralism and utilitarianism. Horace insisted that literature should be delightful and instructive. Samuel Johnson is the most famous English moralist. The primary position of such critics is that the more significant function of literature is to teach morality and to probe philosophical issues.
