Stages of a Genre
1st stage- the primitive, the formative stage in which the genres characteristics are first established. (before the title)2nd stage- the classical, the genre is at its peak, with generic qualities refined.
3rd stage- the revisionist, which scrutinizes and reevaluates, often in a critical way the conventions that typify the genre.
4th stage- the parodic, in which the genre is satirized in a consciously self reflexive, tongue in cheek manner.
