Criticism is written by academics. These are scholars who contextualize a text historically and theoretically. They incorporate these theories and lenses into their analysis of a text.
Criticism is published in scholarly journals.
Criticism can be written at any time, often years after a text's creation.
Criticism is considered a secondary source and has the benefit of hindsight: years of historical contextualization and consideration of bodies of work.
