What is archetypal literary criticism?• Says that archetypes determine the form and
function of literary works.• A text's meaning is shaped by cultural and
psychological myths. • Archetypes are the unknowable (aka “mysterious”
or “undefinable”) basic forms presented in repeated images, symbols, or structures.
Who’s who in Archetypal Literary Criticism:• Maud Bodkin– Classical scholar, writer and mythology critic– Wrote Archetypal Patterns in Poetry• Applied Jung's theory of the collective unconscious to poetry,
discovering a deep-seated primitive meaning behind recurring poetic images, symbols, and situations
