This book reviews the various literary theories that were popular in French academic circles in the 1970s and 1980s, from structuralism to interpretive theory to reception aesthetics, from Jacobson to Roland Barthes to Jauss, as well as the various conflicts that occurred between literary theory and common sense. The theory rejects the stereotypes contained in common sense: "literature" is the essence, "the author" is the authority of the meaning of the text, the work takes "the world" as the theme, "reading" is the dialogue between the reader and the author, "style" is the choice of writing method, "literary history" is the enumeration of great writers one by one, and "value" is the objective attribute of literary classics. Theory shakes common sense, but common sense also resists attacks. Theories often make excessive remarks in order to destroy their opponents, which may lead to paradoxes. Therefore, it is necessary for us today to re-examine the era when literary theory was all the rage in France and abroad, and make a summary of it.
