systematic study of the nature of literature
Literary theory is the systematic study of what literature is and how it works—examining questions about meaning, interpretation, and the nature of texts themselves. It matters because it provides tools and frameworks that help readers, writers, and scholars understand literature more deeply and recognize the various ways that stories, poems, and other works create meaning.
