Abstract:
The objective of this research is reevaluation the processes of the modern criticism; be it from the early texts derived from the writings of Sigmund Freud or from the methodological approaches which benefited from the Freudian heritage or restated his essential hypothesis. That’s why, I divided this research to two parts : Part I entitled : the origins dealing with the basic principles underlying the Freudian, psychological criticism. Part II is concerned with the extensions of the Freudian theory in the different schools of criticism; the psychoanalysis of which I tried to assimilate as well as their methodological cognitive data. Because this issue is a complex and large one, we limited work to its essential limits without being involved in its details which will require a much more important research than this one.
