Features: The articles selected in this series of books were chosen by the author. They are mainly essays and critiques published since the New Period, especially in recent years. Most of these authors have published collections of critiques, and this selection includes both chapters that have appeared in previous collections but which the authors believe hold significant academic value and represent their achievements during certain periods, as well as newly written critiques that have not yet been compiled into collections. The texts cover critiques of writers and works, as well as theoretical research and discussions on specialized topics. Overall, it is hoped that these selections will help readers understand the general achievements or outstanding contributions of the relevant critics in one aspect.
