Features: This book is a summary of the author's 20 years of research and reflection in literary theory. The author creatively proposes a series of fundamental concepts and categories, such as the study of literary elements. Building on the integration of traditional literary foundational theories and their research objects and methods, it systematically interprets the life phenomena of writers, the cultural phenomena of texts, and the aesthetic phenomena of readers within an interdisciplinary perspective, thereby establishing a complete theoretical system of literary elements. The book not only extensively cites perspectives from various disciplines, provides numerous derivative explanations, and proposes unique insights but also boldly breaks through the limitations of traditional literary theory research, such as the closed boundaries of foundational theories, the fragmentation of interconnected research objects, and the adoption of a single disciplinary or interdisciplinary research method. It has made many valuable explorations in constructing a new paradigm for interdisciplinary research in literary theory.
