Features: René Wellek's History of Modern Criticism is the largest and most authoritative work in this academic field to date. It frames its analysis with the theoretical frameworks of New Criticism, Russian Formalism, and I.A. Richards' aesthetics, systematically tracing the development of Western literary criticism over the past two centuries. At the same time, Wellek emphasizes the portrait sketches and case studies of critics, delving into each specific issue with depth, avoiding hasty judgments and superficial generalizations. His experience and lessons in the methodology of critical history also hold valuable insights for us.
