Abstract

Marxist literary criticism is the result of applying the principle of Marxist philosophy and sociology that is considered advanced immutable theory. In the context of knowledge globalization today, we found out that criticism has seven major constraints, and this showed that Western Marxist theorists have had many new findings. At the same time, the Western literary criticism movements such as existentialism, structuralism, narrative, rhetoric, psychoanalysis, semiotics, reception aesthetics, explanation, post structuralism, new historicism and postmodern theory mention a range of new and interesting issues. The context shows that Marxist literary criticism is just a branch of criticism, rather than the entire literary criticism. To make progress, we should study and receive the whole world criticism open-mindedly and selectively to take the advanced level of the times.
Keywords: Marxist literary criticism, its constraints, literary criticism in the twentieth century
