Features: European literature from ancient times to the 18th century. The publication of the newly edited History of European Literature by Professor Li Funing as the chief editor is a significant event in the field of foreign literary history research in China. Although its publication date was not necessarily intentionally chosen for the end of the 20th century or the beginning of the 21st century, its appearance at the turn of the century still holds special significance. It is a high-quality literary history work jointly authored by nearly 100 experts in literature from various languages at Peking University, based on the achievements and experiences of the original History of European Literature edited by Mr. Yang Zhouhan and others. It incorporates the new achievements in the research of literary history, literary theory, and literary criticism at home and abroad, reflecting the overall level of 20th-century Chinese European literary history research. It can be said that for a relatively long period in the future, this literary history will remain a landmark achievement in the field of European literary history research in China and serve as an authoritative reference book for foreign literary teaching and research in our country.
