Abstract
In research and teaching of foreign literature in China, many researchers tend to follow theoretical paradigms of Western literary study blindly due to their lack of holistic view of literatures’ development process, hence fail to deliver thorough and innovative Chinese interpretation of foreign literatures. Research on Western Literary Thoughts in the Nineteenth Century in six volumes edited by Jiang Chengyong offer a monumental breakthrough for this limit. Focusing on the localization of such Western literary thoughts in the nineteenth century as Romanticism, Realism, Naturalism, Aestheticism, Symbolism and Decadentism in China ever since the New Culture Movement in 1919, these six books illustrate the successive relations in-between these thoughts as well as the intercommunication among natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, thus succeed in constructing the generative knowledge genealogy of Western literary thoughts from China’s perspective.
