Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Archetypal literary criticism" in English language version.
In recent years, archetypal or myth criticism has found itself under attack for being reductive and for ignoring the historical and cultural context of literary works. However, the area of criticism still has a place in the literary tradition and has had an effect on other disciplines and branches of literary study such as gender studies, comparative literature, cultural studies and narrative theory. [...] Only a few contemporary critics still engage in strictly Jungian or 'Fryeian" readings, though.
The heyday of archetypal criticism began to decline after the 1970s. however, its impact can still be seen in the interpretation of children's literature, science fiction, and feminist criticism.
