What is a Marxist view on literature?

Simplistically, Marxist literature focuses upon the
position of society and the ideas of society as being the ones which should be upheld
and embraced. Marxist texts do not contain hidden meanings; instead, the works use ideas
and language which support its ideology on society which are provided as 'instruction
manuals' which readers can follow and learn by.


Typically,
there are issues that arise with any work looked at using Marxist views. Many readers
may find that they disagree with texts which tell them how to feel, how to live, and
what to do. Many times, the texts are scrutinized given the historical perspective which
the text was written in.


You can find a very detailed and
explanatory answer to your question at the link at the end of this
