This book uses a comprehensive perspective and systematic method to address the lack of essentialist literary concepts and cultural studies. Starting from the intention of relationship reflection and theoretical construction, through three levels (formal expression, relationship form, and cause explanation), this book makes a relatively comprehensive and in-depth analysis, discussion, and new interpretation of the complex relationship between literary reception, literary form, and ideology under the five most important literary concepts in the history of Western literary theory (imitation theory, pragmatism theory, expression theory, objectivity theory, and acceptance theory), and proposes a series of unique insights. Through analysis, it is pointed out that the core element of the main literary concepts in ancient and modern times is "relationship", and the theoretical proposition of moving towards "relational poetics" is put forward.
