What is Literature: a Simple Reader on Principles of Literature
by Du Shuying
About This Novel
This book is a literary theory textbook written for graduate students, but it is highly academic. It grasps a series of basic theoretical issues that are controversial in academic circles, such as whether literature can be defined, how literature occurs, whether literature has "progressed" (can "progress" be used to measure the process of literary history), whether literature will die, whether literature needs to be "created", how literature exists, what are the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western literary theory, how to transform our criticism, etc., And conducts bold explorations and puts forward its own new insights. The original intention is to arouse thinking and discussion in the academic world. The author advocates refraining from statements, speaking his own words, not echoing what others say, and writing new ideas that are different from previous works; neither repeating others nor repeating himself.
