(Part 1):

In the 20th century, academic writing groups came up with the idea of New Criticism to stress a theory (2018). The theory was connected to literature and what was written (2018). The theory is mainly about treating literature as the only evidence you need and doing no research outside the article (2018). Everything that is needed to understand what is being said is written on the article or document itself. New Critics during the 201th century came up with this theory by believing that literature is something that is written on a document (2018). One does not need to look for outside information about the document because the document contained all the necessary data needed. New Critics believed that literature should be judged based on what is being said.
