First you have to read the slides. Then read this text without hesitation.
Theory Benefit:

XXXX we speak of New XXXXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXX Criticism we speak of a dynamic XXX XX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXXX XX the producing XXXXX XXX XXX XXXXXXX XX the interpreting XXXXX. And XX XX sure we understand the terminology XX this XXXXXXXX critical XXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXX define discourses XX “a XXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX by particular cultural XXXXXXXXXX XX a XXXXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXXX, and it expresses a particular way of understanding XXXXX experience” .XXX XXXXXXXXXX Criticism XXXXXXXX “XXX events…XXX XXXXXX by XXX XXXXX the culture in which they XXXXXX,” or XXX mutually constitutive.

XXX XXX concepts XX New Historical Critics can be XXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXX: (X) “XXXXXXX is a XXXXXX of XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, XXX facts.
