Refuting Sainte-beuve
About This Novel
Western literary trends and schools have many names, have risen and fallen, and theoretical works on literature and art emerge in endlessly. In almost every era, there have been far-reaching literary theorists. As a literary theorist, he usually has a complete set of theories, which guides and even dominates the literary world at that time. This book is neither an essay nor a novel, but a work of art. A piece of small madeleine cake brought out endless unconscious memories, and then the pen turned sharply. The author strongly criticizes the mechanical and erroneous criticism methods of the authoritative critic Saint-Beuve, and the resulting contempt and misunderstanding of all the literary geniuses in the French literary world at that time. The whole book contains both lyrical narrative and rational speculation. The two complement each other and reflect each other. The style of nearly half of the book is similar to or echoes that of "Reminiscence of Lost Time". It is a condensation of the essence of the author's thoughts and laid the first cornerstone for later textualist and structuralist criticism.
