'As an important part of the world's literary criticism pedigree, Australian literary criticism has shown a "rational dominance" delay to the literary theory craze in Europe and the United States since its inception, and has a special liking for "practical criticism". The attitude of openness and diversity, and the appeal of "returning to tradition and literacy" are in sharp contrast to the current "abnormal noise and turmoil in theory". After a hundred years of development, Australian literary criticism has shown the characteristics of "non-orientation, non-original fusion", and the ideology of "self-centered, not following the trend, advocating pluralism" is worth learning from Chinese and even the world literary circles. The diversification of Australian literary criticism over the past century is not only the result of the transformation of its internal power mechanism, but also the result of mutual learning and globalization of Eastern and Western civilizations. This book adopts the methods of macro-narrative chronological social and cultural context, meso-level discussion of literary events, micro-analysis of individual critics’ thoughts, and comparative study of the differences between Australian and British and American literary criticisms, effectively achieving a comprehensive balance between theoretical criticism and practical criticism. Combine point and surface.
'"One Hundred Years of Australian Literary Criticism" aims to systematically comb, analyze and interpret the works of important writers and critics in Australia over the past century on literary creation and literary research, and comprehensively discuss the social consciousness and thoughts contained in Australian literary theory and practical criticism. Viewpoints and aesthetic standards, reveal the nature and characteristics of literary criticism of "no one, no other, non-original hybridization", explore the causes of the evolution of Australian nationalization, internationalization and diversified literary criticism, and study the history of literary criticism for Chinese scholars Provide reference.'

review
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , 29 October vol. 35 no. 2 2020;
— Review of 百年澳大利亚文学批评史 2019 selected work criticism'Writing a history of literary criticism is undoubtedly challenging in that it requires the writer’s expertise in two aspects: how to unify both theoretical and practical criticism; and how to objectively, accurately and comprehensively give a succinct account of key information in the face of a vast amount of literature. Peng addresses these issues by pursuing a narrative pattern which includes a macro-level portrayal of social and cultural contexts, a meso-level analysis of literary events and cultural debates, and a micro-level interpretation of four individual critics’ ideas about Australian literature in every phase of the development.'
