Marxism and Literary Criticism

This is the first Chinese book to systematically introduce humanist Marxism, Althusserian Marxism, Russian formalism, structuralism, semiotics, and subject theory, alongside their respective influences on literary criticism. As with any responsible introduction to thought, this book is concise, accurate, and easy to understand, distilling the complex information into a clear and well-organized framework. Whether you are interested in literature, Marxism, or cutting-edge Western thought, this book is an indispensable foundational text. For this reprint, in addition to correcting some typesetting errors, the author has written a new preface outlining the history of Marxism in Hong Kong.
