Dialectical criticism
:
A Marxist term for the kind of criticism that explores the causal connections
between the content or form of literature at a given historical moment
and the economic, social, and ideological factors that shape and determine
that content or form. Work and background are construed to be dialectically
related. (See also Marxist criticism.)
