What is the difference between a book review and literary criticism?
Book reviews are important tools for evaluating books. Many literature research projects begin with book reviews, as they can provide valuable historical insights or background information, but it is important to distinguish between book reviews and literature criticism. One of the simplest criterion for distinguishing book reviews from literary criticism is the time of publication of the review/critical article compared to the original publication date of the book, since book reviews will be written around the same time the book was published, while literary criticism will be published in later years.
