I. A. Richards' Practical Criticism||English Podcast||English explanation||literary theory|English

Unlock the foundations of modern literary analysis with this exploration of I. A. Richards' seminal work, Practical Criticism. Published in 1929, this book revolutionized how literature was taught and studied by documenting the results of Richards' groundbreaking 'experiments' where he gave Cambridge students anonymous poems to analyze without any external information (like the author or historical context).
In this video, we delve into:
The Experiment: How Richards conducted his study and the revealing 'protocols' (student responses) he collected.
The Four Kinds of Meaning: A breakdown of Richards' essential framework for analyzing poetry: Sense, Feeling, Tone, and Intention.
The Ten Difficulties: The common pitfalls and obstacles students faced, from stock responses to the intrusion of personal associations, which Richards identified.
Legacy and Influence: The impact of Practical Criticism on the development of the 'New Criticism' and the enduring importance of close reading in literary studies today.#IARichards
