Declining or Waning
- Traditional Literary Criticism:
There appears to be a decreasing focus on conventional literary criticism methods, as scholars increasingly favor interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate historical, sociopolitical, and cultural analyses. - Historical Biographies of Authors:
Research centered on detailed biographical studies of individual authors has diminished, possibly due to a shift towards broader themes that connect literary works to larger societal movements. - Fixed Genre Definitions:
The rigid categorization of literary genres is becoming less prevalent, with more scholars favoring hybrid and fluid interpretations of texts that challenge traditional genre boundaries. - Local and Nationalistic Studies:
There is a waning interest in narrowly focused studies that concentrate solely on national literary canons, as global and transnational perspectives gain traction. - Focus on Canonical Texts:
