Features: This book takes a macro perspective to analyze the numerous characteristics demonstrated in the theoretical reflections and literary practices of the 1980s and 1990s.

This complexity serves as historical testimony to literary criticism, and this historical testimony also reveals the true face of literary criticism today.

Overall, the work serves to promote critical thinking about contemporary literary criticism.
