Literary critics

Literary critics are professionals who analyze and evaluate books, poetry, and other written works. They examine themes, structures, language, and context to interpret meanings and assess quality. Their goal is to deepen understanding and appreciation of literature, often providing insights into an author's intentions and cultural significance. Critics help readers see new perspectives, question assumptions, and engage more thoughtfully with texts. They may write reviews, essays, or scholarly articles, contributing to discussions about literature’s role and impact in society.
