Feminist Criticism

New Criticism

Historical Criticism

Formalism is the correct type of criticism as it focuses on examining the artistic elements of a text rather than historical context or the author's personal life. Options A, B, and C all involve considering external factors such as gender, social history, and the author's life when analyzing a text. Formalism emphasizes the text itself as an autonomous and self-contained work.
