Views Of New Historicism Critic On Literature

New Historicism critic is one of important literary criticisms that started in 1980s. It stems from that literature critic in the Euro-American literature critic are interested in Renaissance. This critic mode is contrast with Euro-American positivism and text study of twenty century .It is a new critic method, challenging all kinds of formalism and traditional historicism. This paper mainly discusses how the theory of New Historicism critic is applied in literary. M.H.Abrams puts forward the theory of four essential factors that includes "world, art, writer and reader". By this way, I review in details New Historicism critic's different views on literature and investigate the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of critic method in the western literary criticism of whole century. At the same time, connecting with Chinese literature practice in late 1980s, the paper mention profound influence on our country and the enlightening to the rise of New Historicism novel and rewrites what literary history current of though.The thesis consists of three parts. The first part chooses time as clue and makes New Historicism critic carded. The paper puts great emphasis on to point out that the critic is a kind of practice not doctrine. This point is very important.The second part focuses on New Historicisms critic on literature. The biggest characteristic of this mode is compatible. It transfers the big tide inside in the western twenty-century literary criticism, and be placed in the wave top of the third and big twist. They concentrate on recovering the history factor and combine to lay claim to text in big social language environments. Theyalize the transferring of twenty century study : writer center--work center--readercenter--society center. They carry out a new rule in the practice namely "poetry of science ".They place themselves in the big culture system and take on elegant appearance. What is tightly followed sets forth my humble understanding of reforming to four factors. By this way, I analyze New Historicism critic distinctive writer's subjective position. Writes complete self-fashioning inthe text and language world. They write down the process of self-fashioning and fulfill fashioning of others. On the views of literature, the "intertexuality" is very important. New Historicism critic is deeply influence by Hayden White and Michel Foucault. They place history and literature in the same rank order and broke to traditionally belong to the relation. They find a new way for the study of literature. New Historicism critics pay more attention to politics ideology of literature. They study both subvert and restrain and dig into the essence.The third part analyses New Historicism critic macroscopic tendency. I believe that they find a new path to develop literature critic on a certain meaning. They actively melt into the ocean of culture study and win a seat's ground. They pace back and forth between culture study and literature study, entering economically, politically, social problem level. New Historicism critic advocate a kind of synthesizing thought mode, and also can be seen the stir to fine course thought. New Historicism critic is many-faced poetry science mode, which transfer from writer center to text center. Meanwhile, this mode exists many flaws. Firstly, it stem from interior methodology and practice contradiction. Secondly, New Historicism critic is apt to studying text synchronic and ignores text development diachronic. Finally, basing on the history limitations, they are short of entirety certainty. Whatever, they urge us to rethink our culture.
