Features: Wang Guowei was one of the renowned scholars of modern China. The Wordsworth of Human Life is a book in which Mr. Wang, after being influenced by Western aesthetic thought, reviewed traditional Chinese literature with a fresh perspective, holding epoch-making significance and always being highly valued by academia. This book blends Chinese classical literary theory with Western philosophy and aesthetics, with a focus on the former, establishing its own literary theory system. It is a representative work of Wang's literary criticism and holds an important position in the history of modern Chinese literary criticism. Mr. Xu's annotations cite the original poems and verses mentioned in Wang's text. His Annotated The Wordsworth of Human Life was once considered the most complete version of the book and remains a good popular reading material to this day.
