摘要：I can't forget the horror which crept into my mind seeing a book of more than 100 pages suggested by my teacher to study the prescribed text of about 200 lines of Mac Fleknoe. I was forced to think whether it was necessary to study the age in which the text was written or the biography of the author of the text. Fortunately, I came to know, later, that there is a school of critics which does not pay attention to the historical or biographical background of the texts but the words, phrases, clauses, sentences and aspects related to them to analyse or interpret or study a work of literature independently. The promotion of the study of Linguistics has given greater opportunity to examine a literary piece phonologically – (pattern of speech, sounds, metre or rhyme), syntactically (types of sentence structure), lexically (types of words on sensory bases) and rhetorically (figurative language, symbols, imagery etc.)
