Features: The author is a renowned contemporary American expert in comparative literature. This book is his magnum opus, comprising eight volumes, discussing the history of literary criticism in Western countries over the 200 years since 1750. Due to his profound expertise and extensive research, as well as clear expression, he has made a notoriously difficult theoretical monograph accessible and engaging, filled with humor and wit, thereby earning widespread international acclaim. As early as the 1960s, China's Ministry of Education included it as supplementary teaching material for liberal arts at universities and entrusted the famous professor Yang Qishen of Fudan University to translate it. Later, when Professor Yang became ill, his son Yang Ziwu took over the translation. The first four volumes were highly praised by both scholars and the general public. It can be said that anyone studying or interested in comparative literature will consider it a must-read.
