This book studies contemporary world literary theory and its application and changes in the Chinese context. Since Goethe mentioned the term "world literature" in 1827, many scholars have responded to various issues related to world literature for more than a hundred years. However, it was not until 2000 that the theory of world literature made significant progress. This book is based on summarizing the theories of world literature in the past twenty years, and discusses the applicability and changes of these theories in the Chinese context. In addition to the introduction, this book has eight chapters in total. Discuss the following topics in turn; (1) What is world literature? (2) What is world poetry? (3) The implications of translation studies for world literary theory. (4) How does the Nobel Prize in Literature create world literature? (5) What implications do research paradigms such as Orientalism, Sinology, and travel theory have on the study of world literature? (6) How does Moretti use cultural historical concepts such as "tree" and "wave" to explain world literature? What is the contribution? (7) What are the contributions of the "distant reading" theory? How are big data and digital humanities changing the study of world literature? (8) What is the right and wrong of Apted's concept of "anti-world literature"? Finally, it concludes with the century-old changes in the concept of "world literature".
