Features: This book takes the classic Romantic writers and works from both China and abroad as its main thread, specifically analyzing the connections and differences between Chinese and foreign Romantic literature. It consistently maintains that Chinese Romantic literature is self-sufficient and does not passively accept foreign literature but actively integrates and absorbs it, thereby forming a Romantic literature with Chinese characteristics. Around this viewpoint, the book repeatedly elaborates on the theory from three aspects: theory, writers, and works, thereby breaking the outdated historical notion that China itself had no Romantic literature, which only emerged later under the influence of foreign literature. This book can serve as a reference for literary researchers, a textbook for college liberal arts candidates, and an essential introductory reading for literary enthusiasts.
