marxist criticism

marxist criticism feels that texts are influenced by the social and political circumstances at the time. in relation to the ten tenets of liberal humanism i think you could relate it to the first one, that good literature is timeless. in order to be timeless it has to speak of human nature which comes from what is going on in social and political settings. even if the social and political circumstances are not identical year to year there are always similarites that help us learn our mistakes and accomplishments from these previous experiences. when texts are influenced by such events they can be interpreted in all situations and all moments, making them relevent and timeless.
