ok, i'll critique it.
*you said "Although it had initially been received as a ‘strange’ and ‘ambiguous’ book, it has attracted much attention and appreciation throughout the 20th century", says who??? u need some one to back it up.
*the psychoanalyical paragraph is good.
yeah the rest sounds good - mind u, i havent read it.
I think, u just need to fix up the first paragraph.
It sounds to generalised and subjective.
the best thing to do, (and ive learnt from being at uni) be clear, and specific.
No rambaling ( i know, i tried it for the HSC, works, but soon enough they start to see through it)
Good luck
