Introduction In western critical tradition, the encoding of poetic works led to the development of literary criticism. Some very early Greek poets propounded critical theory or practice. In the fourth century BCE, the Greek Kritai (judges)emerged on the scene. 
These critics were from the elite class, who studied literary texts as artistic, social, and ideological discourses.
 They set out to define the quality of literature and to analyse the very nature and status of literary fiction. Western critical thoughts have sought to focus on such questions as 'does literature refer to external reality? What sort of "truth" does literature aim at? What psychological processes contribute to the reader's understanding or enjoyment of literary texts…etc. Moreover, they focus on the effect of literature on society. This module will introduce some of the pioneers of western classical literary criticism and their works.
