Literary Criticism in the Medieval Period-Plato

The field of interdisciplinary study known as “law and literature” brings the two fields of “law” and “literature” (or literary studies) together to engender new scholarly insights. Today, scholars regard law and literature as a discrete academic field, though the degree of convergence among scholarly contributions in terms of broad sources is undercut by the divergence in topics and methods.

Plato attacks poetry as imitation, fake high school and training as well. Around the same time, Bharata Muni in his Natya Shastra, he wrote literary criticism in literature and theater ancient India Sanskrit.

Later, classical and medieval criticism often focused on religious texts, and various religious traditions of hermeneutics and textual exegesis have had a profound influence on the study of secular texts.

In addition to the Republic of Plato, who founded and ran an academy in Athens for many years, wrote a number of other dialogues as well as numerous letters. Due to the influence of the ideas expressed in various dialogues, including the Republic, Plato has come to occupy a key position in the history of Western philosophy and is often called the father of philosophical idealism. It is also hailed as a pre-eminent prose stylist and the Republic is considered one of the most exemplary texts in this genre praised for its craftsmanship and poetic qualities.

Indeed, the profound concern with such issues signals the use of the term literary jurisprudence to indicate this field of scholarship, as opposed to the loose association indicated ...
