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