i think... we need to make inquiry, what makes 'a theory', 'literary theory' and 'a text', 'literary text'... to be precise, what is literariness....

As WH Hudson has pointed it out, when a text has three features it becomes literary text; the first is 'general human interest,' the second is ' submission to a particular genre' and the third is 'aesthetic pleasure.' the answer to second question is that a theory is 'a systematic way of studying something' whereas a literary theory is ' a systematic and "humanistic" way of studying literature.'
