4. What does I. A. Richards talk about in Practical Criticism?

Ans:

Practical Criticism is a book written by I. A. Richards, a British literary critic and philosopher. It was first published in 1929 and is considered one of the most influential works in the field of literary criticism. In this book, Richards proposes a new method of literary analysis that is based on close reading and analysis of the text itself, rather than on external factors such as the author's biography or historical context.

Richards argues that literary criticism should focus on the text itself, rather than on the author's intentions or historical context. He advocates for a close reading of the text, which involves a detailed examination of the language, form, and structure of the work. Richards believes that by paying close attention to the language and structure of the text, readers can gain a deeper understanding of its meaning and significance.
