ABOUT LECTURE
Literary works are intimately related to the life, society and history. The alleged “pure literature” couldn’t probably exist. Various worlds with any possibility are presented in literature works, challenging readers’ inherent cognitions and values in each period. We are obsessed with the literature, yet only make vivid and concrete researches on the generalized moral issues.
