Research On The Theoretical Configuration Of Raymond Williams’ Literary Criticism

Raymond Williams is one of Britain’s most creative and influential theoretical critics.As an advocate of cultural studies,he has been consciously deviating from literary criticism to achieve transcendence and breakthroughs in cultural studies.From the perspective of Williams’ overall academic achievements,literary criticism has always occupied a significant part of Williams’ entire research.Williams gradually formed his own literary criticism theory with internal logic system.This achievement is closely related to the strong tradition of literary criticism in British society.It is under the influence of this powerful tradition that Williams had to open up a new discourse space by constructing a new theory of literary criticism when he used cultural studies to intervene in political discourse.Therefore,literary criticism has both instrumental and ideological attributes in Williams’academic achievements.This article attempts to go back to the construction process of this literary criticism theory,compare the relationship between literary criticism and cultural studies,and explore the inherent logic of Williams’ literary criticism theory and the value orientation of his own ideological system.The first chapter tries to show that Williams’ choice of academic direction and the construction of academic system are not only related to his personal experience and experience,but also deeply influenced by the background of the whole era through Williams’construction of the realistic background of literary criticism theory.The reason why literary criticism can become a theoretical focus that Williams can’t break away is more closely related to the long-formed tradition of literary criticism in British society.The second chapter uses time as a clue to describe the process of Williams’ construction of literary criticism theory,and explores the actual function of literary criticism in the process of Williams’ participation in the debate by showing Williams’ contradictory psychology and the process of repetition.,And Williams also laid the foundation of his literary criticism theory by constructing a new concept of "literature".Chapter 3 presents the complete theoretical framework of Williams’ literary criticism and analyzes Williams’ construction and practice of different theoretical elements.As the core fulcrum of literary criticism,the emotional structure plays a key role in Williams’ criticism of novels and tragedies.In the end,Williams intends to move towards an ideal form of literary criticism through the community.The fourth chapter analyzes the current experience and value of Williams’ literary criticism by discussing the current situation of literary criticism and cultural research.The emphasis on literary criticism by Williams’ literary criticism is not only helpful for us to reflect on the current situation of literary criticism.The value of this also pointed out a new direction for the development of Marxism.As an outstanding theorist,Williams’ practice has undoubtedly enriched the theoretical dimension of literary criticism.
