ENG3703 Assignment 3 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) 2025 - DUE September 2025; 100% correct solutions and explanations. Write a carefully structured essay of around 800-1500 words in which you critically compare the following approaches to the study of literature: those which emphasise factors considered to be “intrinsic” to the text or which examine the text as an aesthetic object; and those which emphasise factors broadly considered to be “external” to the text, and which focus on social, cultural and political concerns rather than aesthetic ones. Your essay should provide some explanation of the theoretical arguments which inform both approaches. The essay should also consider the specific kinds of critical practices which emerge from these theoretical positions: what are the strengths and weaknesses of the kinds of interpretation made when the focus is the text itself, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the kinds of interpretation made when the focus is more broadly contextual? You may, but do not have to, offer your own view concerning which of these approaches you prefer, and find more appropriate to your own critical practice. You may, if you choose, refer to Unit 4 teaching material to develop and support some of your arguments, as well as for examples of specific theoretical approaches which fall into the two theoretical categories examined in this assignment. Please ensure that you have accurate in-text referencing and a full bibliography.
