As W.H. Auden suggests, criticism is most useful when it calls our attention to things worth attending to. Chapter 8 introduces ten primary manifestations of criticism, including Formalist criticism, Reader-Response criticism, Marxist criticism, and Gender criticism, among others.

At the end of the chapter, a list of further reading is suggested.
