There is no doubt, Wellek research in literary theory is renowned for their contribution, he will become the literature across the board, "External Study "and" Internal Study" in two parts, he is more inclined to an internal study of literature. In his view, only to do internal research on the literature, we can reveal the "literature as literature" where the fundamental, that is literary. He devoted his life to an internal study of literature, firmly defend the literature, is a single-mindedness of scholars. Although his theory of an internal study criticized by many scholars, but he's "Internal Study" theory pointed out the direction for literary studies, there are still very high research value.This six part introduction, the article reviews the Wellek's academic achievements.The first chapter, this paper discusses the "Internal Study" theory of origin of the theory arises. "Internal study" theory have been the first to Husserl and Ingarden as the main representative of the phenomenon of literary theory, Wellek draws on Husserl's phenomenological research methods, drawing on paper Ingarden in the epistemology of literary works and literary texts on four levels. Followed by the structuralist school of language, Saussure on the "language" and "Speech" and "external linguistics" and "internal linguistics" of the distinction, proposed by the Russian formalist thinking back to the research literature itself, Prague school from the perspective of the language to do the internal structure of literary text analysis, and complete return to the text of the New Criticism itself, its own literary work done on the detailed and thorough research, no doubt Wellek "internal research" had not put forward the theory measure the impact.The second chapter, which focused on the "Internal Study" the cornerstone of the theory. Wellek in the "Literary Theory,"a book that "Internal Study" theory is the cornerstone of the way of the existence of literary works. Wellek phenomenon of literary theory draws on research ideas, first of all literary works into a real, spiritual, ideal for three types of objects, and each of its analysis, concluded that the literature is not the object in the three categories any kind. Literature is the phenomenological sense of "intentional object", which is the object of an experience, is a symbol and meaning of the multi-layer structure. Value attached to the "structure" only after the reader to achieve specific literary value and close to the body "structure." Chapterâ…¢focuses on the "Internal Study" theory of objects, that is, the four dimensions of literary works-the sound level, the significance level, world level and metaphysical level. The sound level, Wellek mainly homophonic, rhythm and meter of poetry and three prose verse analyzed. The meaning level, Wellek mainly from the style, stylistics, and in terms of image and metaphor of the four verse poetry and prose were analyzed. The world level, Wellek symbol and myth from the perspective of the main starting verse of poetry, analyzed, and from the perspective of narrative non-fiction verse analyzed. As for the metaphysical level, Wellek in the "literary theory", a book chapter is not specifically listed, but it caught in the "world level" and "literature evaluation" to do a fuzzy analysis. Specific literature on the metaphysical aspects of the study, Wellek borrowed Bosanquet's "Easy Beauty" and "Difficult Beauty" of the concept that the first three dimensions of literary works are "Easy Beauty", and The first three levels are intertwined with the metaphysical level, to form a "Difficult Beautiful."The fourth chapter, which focused on the "Internal Study" theory extension and application. Wellek the "Iinternal Study" theory applied to the type of literature and literary history of the study, on the basis of traditional sociology, history, literature and other types of external standard practice by doing refuted. He believes that the true genre of literature should be a standing position, according to the internal structure of literature itself out of the division type. In the discussion of literary history, Wellek believes that most of the existing literary history is not the real history of literature, literary history in his mind should be a real art and history, both literary and practical "art history."Conclusion, this paper mainly Wellek "Internal Study" lack of contribution to the theory and a brief commentary, that "Internal Study" the biggest shortcoming of the theory cut off contact with the outside of literature, will be completely imprisoned in the literature "The Well-Wrought Urn" in isolation. Its greatest contribution to literary studies is to open up a new path, firmly defend the literary, art and literature for the realization of the self-discipline to do the best.
