Kurzbiographie: René Wellek was an influential literary critic and theorist known for his pioneering work in the field of comparative literature. He taught at numerous institutions throughout his career, including Yale and the University of Iowa. Best known for his works Theory of Literature and A History of Modern Criticism, he was an advocate of the "intrinsic" literary critical method, which rejects the political and social influences on works of literature and stresses the content of the work itself.

Teoria da literatura von René Wellek

Obra de referência, 'Teoria da Literatura' é um estudo da natureza, função, forma e conteúdo da obra literária. Neles, os autores procuram unir a poética (ou teoria literária) e o criticismo (valoração da literatura) à erudição investigativa e à história literária.

Theorie der literatuur von Wellek

I was so happy that I did not have to read it once again when I passed my exam on basics of literary history.... I had the Dutch version, the translators did a good job, but a very tough book stays a very tough book.
It is very abstract, despite the writers added examples. No, I keep it, for old times sake, but not to read again.
