Social Criticism

Abstract

Literature has always been closely connected to specific social institutions for in the primitive societies it cannot be distinguished between poetry, work, amusement, magic or any rituals. This affirms that the call for directing literature socially dates back to previous era before the 19th century of hegira. But the calls were ideas which are not methodized so my attempt is to follow up the stages of development of this idea which has later on become an independent critical method.
