Features: This is the first monograph in China that studies the contemporary evolution of realism. The book adopts a historical-aesthetic research method, striving to grasp the historical context and social evolution of the era, as well as the self-evolution of literary realism that accompanies it, demonstrating both historical and logical coherence. By avoiding the superficial treatment of realism issues in the past, it offers unique insights. The book's features and strengths lie in its adherence to history as the framework, combining historical analysis with theoretical discussion, and deriving arguments from historical evidence. It not only outlines the development of realism in the history of new literature (after 1949) but also explores its political, social, and cultural roots. From different perspectives and aspects, it presents original theoretical insights on the issue of realism itself, demonstrating theoretical depth and high academic value.
