Features: This book is based on the understanding that "rewriting literary history must involve rewriting the history of literary trends." It breaks through traditional theoretical assumptions and provides an in-depth elaboration on the three major literary trends in modern China—romanticism, realism, and classicism—by returning them to their historical context and approaching historical truth. Consequently, it offers new value judgments on these three literary trends and their related literary phenomena.
