本文认为，中国古典文学研究在本世纪内走过了一条由古典型向近代型不断演变的道路，其近代化进程大体可以划分为四个时期：第一时期为１９００年到１９２８年，这是学科近代化的起步时期；第二时期为１９２８年到１９４９年，这是学科近代化的发展时期；第三时期为１９４９年到１９７８年，这是学科统一时期，也是近代化的曲折时期；第四时期为１９７８年到本世纪末，这是学科拨乱反正和多元化发展时期，也是近代化的再发展时期。作者分别对各个时期的学术观念、学术方法、学科成果、学科人才的状况及特征进行了评析，并对中国古典文学研究在近代化进程中的成败得失进行了探讨。 This paper argues that in the present century, the study of Chinese classical literature has gone through a path of evolution from a classical to a modern one.
