'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.
