Biographical Criticism

Biographical Criticism examines an author's life to understand their work better, focusing on how personal experiences influence themes and styles. It explores connections between life and literature.

Biographical Criticism provides valuable insights into an author's intentions, influences, and perspectives, enriching our understanding of their work and its cultural and historical contexts.

• How do the author's life experiences parallel or diverge from those of the characters?

• What cultural or historical contexts from the author's life might inform the setting or social dynamics depicted in the work?

• What are the ethical considerations of using the author's biography to interpret their work, and how might this approach enrich or limit my understanding?
