英美新批评派在发展之初,就被以叶公超为代表的清华学人译介到了中国。难能可贵的是,叶公超(以及大部分五四学者)在学习西方文艺理论时,从来不是机械生硬地照搬,而是强调文学本体性,兼顾与中国文论的比较分析,并将它们灵活应用到中国文学的批评实践中,显示出了与五四反传统风潮迥异的文学趣味。 At the beginning of their development, the new Anglo-American critics were translated to China by Tsinghua University scholars represented by Ye Gongchao. Commendable is that Ye Gongchao (and most May Fourth scholars) in the study of Western literary theory, never rigidly copied, but rather emphasize the literary noumenon, taking into account the comparative analysis of Chinese literary theory, and their flexible application to China In the practice of criticism of literature, it shows the literary taste different from that of the May 4th anti-tradition.
