Features: Western literary theory in the 20th century is intricate, ever-changing, and constantly producing new theories, requiring cutting-edge academic research. This revision focuses on the second volume. It adds chapters on American and British New Criticism, Bakhtin, Merleau-Ponty, Iser, Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes, Derrida, feminism, new historicism, postmodernism, postcolonialism, and cultural studies, while reducing chapters on Woolf, Dewey, and Ingarden. In the more than half of the added chapters, we have especially invited many outstanding scholars in their middle and young ages who are proficient in foreign languages and familiar with theory to participate in writing.
