This book is a monograph that comprehensively reviews and evaluates the development history of foreign literary criticism in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is divided into seven parts according to the time period involved: a historical review of modern foreign literary criticism in China; the sinicization of Marxist literary theory; a discussion about the critics; the debate on modernist literature; the debate and criticism of postmodernism and foreign literary criticism since the 21st century. Different from previous histories of literary criticism, the author of this book has a broad international vision, trying to place China's foreign literary criticism in the context of world literature and its theoretical criticism, and consciously compare China's foreign literary criticism with international literary theory criticism, thereby highlighting the characteristics and internationality of China's foreign literary criticism. In addition, this book is problem-oriented and uses historical theory to systematically explore China's foreign literary criticism in the context of world literature and literary theory.
