History of Contemporary Chinese Novel Criticism

About This Novel

This book divides the 70-year historical process of contemporary Chinese novels into the first stage from 1949 to 1976, the second stage from 1977 to 1991, and the third stage from 1992 to 2019. The traditional history of novel criticism usually adopts the "historical theory" historical view and analysis model. This model is certainly historical and persuasive, but it can also easily suppress the uniqueness of the history of novel criticism, and it is especially easy to ignore the subjectivity of criticism and the extremely vivid and rich details. The characteristic of this book is that it wants to highlight the history of contemporary novel criticism from the comprehensive "big history" and put all the weight of theoretical thinking and narrative on it. Through the narration and analysis of the activities and practices of different "novel criticism circles" in each period, the "criticism circle"'s overall thinking on the "history of novels" is demonstrated. This book intends to use the process of the "novel criticism circle"'s penetration and intervention into the history of contemporary novels as an overall clue to connect the relationship between criticism and novels. It also views this connection as how critics who fully demonstrate their critical subjectivity fine-tune their relationship with big history in a "literary way" and reconstruct "the history of contemporary novels" as we know it today through critical concepts and practices.
