 | | Its adherents were emphatic in their advocacy of close reading and attention to texts themselves, and their rejection of criticism based on extra-textual sources, especially biography. | | | Wimsatt and Beardsley concisely defined the two anathemas of the New Criticism in their well-known essays "The Intentional Fallacy" and "The Affective Fallacy." | | | Not all the thoughts and works stemming from these individuals fall within the New Critical camp. |

| | Historians of the Church are beginning to examine its history from below as well as from above. | | | What is or was new was its spread in the 1960s and 1970s to other kinds of history. | | | In the eighteenth century there was an international movement for the writing of a kind of history which would not be confined to military and political events but was concerned with laws, with trade, with the manière de penser of a given society, with its manners and customs, with the 'spirit of the age'. |

| | Historians Richard Slotkin, William Goetzmann, and others have called it “the creation myth of America.” To assert that the West and the frontier experience were not always honorable or flattering upsets many people and literally beggars their belief. | | | Historians must “help the American West to become a more thoughtful and self-aware community than it has been, a community that no longer believes in its special innocence, but accepts the fact that it is inextricably part of a flawed world” (10). | | | Letter from John S. du Mont (Hancock, NH), in Montana The Magazine of Western History 42 (Fall 1992): 93. |

| | Moreover, historians have found evidence both of cross-cultural and transhistorical patterns in women's experience and of immense diversity in women's experiences--by class, race, ethnic group, religion, sexual orientation, family status--indeed, by a probably endless variety of factors. | | | The new women's history found that the transformations effected by industrialism were limited by the tenacity of many aspects of the sexual division of labor. | | | Many historians have attributed Jewish immigrant women's readiness to seek employment and education at least in part to their primarily urban backgrounds in Europe and the tradition of male dedication to religious study. |
