Dr. Shaista Maseeh

Abstract :

Firstly, it a is sole discipline which remains connected with all other disciplines of humanism, and secondly, as a result of first, it has always been closer to the issues relevant to human beings. With the advent of Literary theories these two qualities are being more deeply rooted in literature because they have ought a huge change in perspective by which Literature is studied. Before the advent of Literary theories, ‘Liberal Humanism’ sought a clear, non -political stand of Literature thereby claiming it to be ‘organic’ and ‘self-sufficient’. But now the trend has changed significantly and Literary theories have been successful in showing text having a pervasive interest in socio-political aspect of life.
