《文学史新方法论》是王钟陵教授运用新方法研究文学史的第三部著作。它一方面表现了作者在新理论创建上的开拓精神，另一方面又深蕴着作者对中国文学史之生成情况的新沉思。是作者为树立具有理论形态的文学史新观念而做出的又一努力。《文学史新方法论》的超越性、把握问题的深刻性以及可操作性，使它有可能成为未来文学史著作在撰写方法上所应遵循的范式。 “New Methodology of Literature History” is the third book that Professor Wang Zhongling studied the history of literature with new methods. On the one hand, it shows the pioneering spirit of the author in creating new theories, on the other hand, it deeply implies the author’s new thoughts on the formation of Chinese literary history. Is another attempt made by the author to establish a new concept of literary history with theoretical forms. The transcendence of “New Methodology of Literature History” and its profoundness and maneuverability make it possible to become the paradigm to be followed in the writing of future literary history writings.
