As for the opinion that the literary work also includes the work of two or second creation as
the work of Walter Pater 19th-century English poet who describes the work of Leonardo Da
Vinci, Mona Lisa, into the post. And for us it was just a replica and not a literary work.
In fact many argue that literature can not be reviewed. No other can only be read, enjoyed
and appreciated. If this were true, then how literature can flourish? How literature can be
appreciated if it was not explored further. How does a poet could work better if no
examination or criticism of his work?
Maybe that is needed here is an understanding or approach to art, the uniqueness of a work of
literature. So how? One answer is to apply the methods of the natural sciences into the study
of literature. Starting from the origin, causes, conditions that favor the formation of literature
such as economic, social and even the concept of geography even in tracing the evolutionary
biology literature.
But others argue that literature can not be formed without the contribution of the humanities.
Natural science also plays a role in the development of cultural studies of science literature
but also greatly contribute to the development of literary studies. Noteworthy is the purpose
of science is different from the culture of science. Many scientists and historians who argue
that science only includes facts or laws of a general nature while science culture prioritize the
facts that are specific or individual.
To prove this, we can understand the argument that most people like Shakespeare because of
uniqueness, not because of the similarities with others.
So, literature is essentially public, but also special. Literary works constructed from the words
that are 'common'. Literary works do have certain characteristics but it also has properties
similar to other works of art.
It can be concluded that the literature may be generalizable appropriate period or in
accordance with the arts in general but with respect to literary criticism and literary history
prioritize a literary quirk.
The Functions of Literature
Critics have been discussing from very early times about the function or functions of
literature. Though they differ among themselves regarding the other functions of literature,
they are all agreed on one point—that the main function of literature is to entertain the
readers, or, in other words, to give them pleasure. Longinus was the first critic to lay down
his thesis that loftiness or sublimity in literature has its end-ecstasy, transport, ‘lifting out of
onself”.
To help you learn to make a text-based argument. That is, to help you to defend
ideas based on a text that is available to you and other readers. This sharpens your
reasoning skills by forcing you to formulate an interpretation of something someone
else has written and to support that interpretation by providing logically valid reasons
why someone else who has read the poem should agree with your argument. This
isn't a skill that is just important in academics, by the way. Lawyers, politicians, and
journalists often find that they need to make use of similar skills.
To help you to understand what you are reading more fully. Nothing causes a person
to make an extra effort to understand difficult material like the task of writing about it.
Also, writing has a way of helping you to see things that you may have otherwise
missed simply by causing you to think about how to frame your own analysis.
To help you enjoy poetry more! This may sound unlikely, but one of the real
pleasures of poetry is the opportunity to wrestle with the text and co-create meaning
with the author. When you put together a well-constructed analysis of the poem, you
are not only showing that you understand what is there, you are also contributing to
an ongoing conversation about the poem. If your reading is convincing enough,
everyone who has read your essay will get a little more out of the poem because of
your analysis.
