Abstract

In the present era of rapid economic and technological advancements, the progress in literary exchange and integration is accelerating. Overall literature, world literature, and related studies are increasingly appearing within the purview of literary researchers worldwide. Yet, faced with the current world where literature is gradually becoming integrated, there arises the question for developing nations: how to retain the contemplation of their native literature? How should the differences between traditional and modern literature be correctly understood? How can Eastern and Western literature strive for equality? Interestingly, answers to this array of questions can be found in Natsume Sòseki’s classic literary theoretical work, “Theory of Literature,” written a century ago.
