点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Our study has re-examined British critics from John Ruskin to Raymond Williams, based on the recent development of critical theory in English Litera- ture, for the purpose of contributing to studies in humanities from an original point of view. In treating both writings of Williams and, guided by them, those of other British critics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, we have focused on the “residuals” which have been somehow dropped from the dominant paradigm of the history of criticism or, to put it in another way, left by Structuralism. We have made an international re-examination of these critics, too, having its basis on the orientation towards totality or wholeness pre- served by them in the modern era.
