Not to quibble academic terms too much, but New Critics
actually are infamous for (according to their critics)
ignoring moral issues, of thinking of the text as a world
unto itself, an artifact insulated from the issues of the
broader culture (incl the author) that produced it. I don't
think of New Critics as, paradigmatically, focusing on
literature's moral questions -- more on its structure and
composition. Back to your regular programming.
