New Criticism supports the individuality of the text, so it is ahistorical. They only focus on the words on page, but they are not concern with the context of the text, because they value text over context, such as cultural, historical, biographical, sociological. They think that context is a secondary material, so they emphasizes close examination of a text with minimum regard for the biographical or historical circumstances. New Criticism aims to detach the author from the text. Here, the intentional fallacy and the affective fallacy is very important. Intentional fallacy is a term to describe the problem inherent in trying to judge a work of art by assuming the inherent of the artist. Affective fallacy refers to the supposed error of judging or evaluating a text on the basis of its emotional effects on a reader. The difference between the content of the work and the achieved content, which is art, is technique. Therefore, the technique and form are important.

NEW CRITICISM
New Criticism emphasizes "close reading" of the text
itself, in order to understand the literary work. Mathew Arnold and T.S. Eliot
are influential figure of New Criticism. It emerged in 1920s, but was dominant
in 1940-50s. There was a student expansion in US.They thought that they need to
come up with a methodology, in order to appeal all of them. For example;
teachers mostly gave a copy of poems or texts, and they want students to read
and analyze them. In this sense, New Criticism is ahistorical, it does not
value things according to history. It does not give importance to
historical values, text should be separate.
