Features: René Wellek's History of Modern Literary Criticism is the largest and most authoritative work in this academic field to date. It takes the theoretical framework of New Criticism, Russian Formalism, and the aesthetics of Roman Ingarden, systematically organizes the development of Western literary criticism over the past two hundred years. At the same time, Wellek focuses on portraiture and case studies of critics, delving into each specific issue in depth, avoiding hasty judgments and superficial generalizations. His experience and lessons in the methodology of critical history also hold valuable insights for us.
