Features: This book breaks through the traditional models of introductory and annotative methods in the study of literary methodology. It constructs a diverse, comprehensive, and holistic literary research method system from multiple dimensions such as macro and micro, diachronic and synchronic, general and specific, as well as humanities and science. Based on adhering to the Marxist worldview and methodology, it adopts new perspectives, thinking approaches, and research methods to interpret the theoretical system and framework of Marxist literary studies, such as cybernetics, information theory, mathematical theory, and the retheory of dissipative structures. It reveals the interconnectedness between humanities and natural sciences, proving the necessity, inevitability, and feasibility of the convergence between literature and science. Additionally, this book provides an overview and analysis of the most representative social-historical methods, Russian Formalism, and structuralism of the 20th century, aiming to learn from various strengths and construct a contemporary, open, scientific, and systematic literary methodology for the new century.
