Special Issue on

Literary History and Theoretical Reflection

Literary History and Theoretical Reflection explores the dynamic relationship between the historical development of literature and the evolving frameworks of literary theory. This theme invites critical engagement with how literature is shaped by its historical contexts and how theoretical approaches—such as structuralism, poststructuralism, historicism, and cultural theory—reinterpret literary texts and traditions. By reflecting on literary periods, movements, and canons through a theoretical lens, this topic encourages scholars to reassess the narratives of literary history and examine how meaning, form, and value are constructed across time.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Literary History and Theoretical Reflection. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
